Crackling could be due to a DirectSound filter you are using for playback. Try changing to WaveOut. What player(s) have you tried for playback?

hehe..I have no idea if the WAV files are good because I don't have them;)

So did the WAVs sound fine in WinAmp? If so is WinAmp using Direct Sound or Wave Out? We need more information from you in order to help.

do you think the waves are ok and just this player isn´t? Which player? No where in this thread do you mention the player your using? Again, specifics please.

Ok, still didn't answer my questions and I don't have time to guess at the answers. If you post your specific settings you used during the transcode to WAV then someone might be able to help.
