Greetings,
I have a nasty and entirely unwanted reverb happening in iTunes when playing music.
I installed Hear to see what it was like, didn't like it and removed it. Since then (as far as I can tell) this reverb has appeared. Other applications do not seem to thave this problem.
Is it something to do with Hear?
Is there some command line audio reset trick or some other way of resetting or removing this problem.
It's happening on both my mac's (mini and ibook both running Tiger 10.4.11).

Many thanks.

Right, scrap that.
Some muppet had turned the Sound Enhancer on in iTunes.

In what way is it "enhancing" to music to make it sound like the band is at the bottom of a deep and empty well?

Where did you get this program "Hear"?

I didn't think that one could concatenate a reverb into the waveform of each audio clip through iTunes, but if this program does just that, then I'd desperately like to test it out.

Hear does the following plus a bit besides.

Fake 3d, fake subwoofer, frequency enhancement, extra wide stereo, reverb etc etc etc.

NB: It's not an Itune plugin but rather a stand alone app that effects all "audio output".
SRSWow is an itunes plugin that does a bunch of audio processing.

Personally, I've found the audio system on my mini/ibook is unable to cope with what these apps do and the result seems to be distorted, ugly sound.
Your milage might vary.
