Hi,

Has anyone noticed a problem with QuickTime distorting the sound on MPEG-4 AAC when trying to play it back? I have confirmed the issue for me on 2 machines, an Intel running 7.1.2 and PPC running 7.1.0 (both QT Pro).

What happens is that when I play an MP4 AAC through QuickTime Player, it sounds distorted and scratchy. If I play the same file in VLC it plays perfectly. The problem doesn't happen with MP3 or any other type of file, just MPEG-4 AAC.

I'm using the built-in audio output on both machines. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem. It's totally weird :confused:
