All S sounds becomes tzzssh

I have a problem with exaggerated s sounds. They become noise. All s's sounds like tzzssh. In this case it is songs on an old CD from the early '90 that I want as files on my PC. I have the problem in the sound files from both the ordinary Audacity and in the new Beta version. I also read what there was in Forum searches. Is there somewhere online that can fix this? Or a hidden function in Audacity? Or something else?
I reinstalled WMP in case there was a damaged file and I also tried several formats - mp3 and WAV. No difference.
Thank you very much for this terrific freeware, by the way. I love Audacity a lot.

Just to be clear, you're moving songs from an old music CD into your computer, right? Do the shows sound live and spiky if you play the CD in your car?

The problem is that it is a choir. They never hit s's or t's at the same time. But instead of a lot of delayed s's Audacity turns them all into one big s. The songs comes from an old LP. I don't know how to stop Audacity from altering the s's...

Well, heck, that's your problem.
OK, so close everything, put the CD into your computer and let the CD player launch and play the disk. Does it sound normal if you do that? If you have a really tiny sound system, plug the headphones in.

I'm trying to get you to tell me what we have to fix. It's no good standing at the very end of the pipe and complaining about the result. Most times--especially with sound--it's far better to catch the error before it becomes serious.

No. Headphones or not, I still have this big tzzddh instead of all the s's that the choir makes.

So is this a CD that someone made from an old LP record?
Does the CD play correctly in a CD player?
