I'm having a hard time figuring out everything your saying. Let's see if I got this right...... You have a sample that sounds distorted and are unsure why?

You need to check what bit your sample is at. I have a feeling your sample is 24bit. I haven't tried to play a 24bit sample without converting so I'm guessing what would happen. Just check your sample and get back to us.
With the info you posted in your original post, it's very hard to give you any help.....

Do other samples sound bad? If not, Dan is most likely right.

thanks dan..
you were right..
i was using 24 bit samples...
after the 16 bit conversion everything is working fine!
