Hi Michael, I have absolutely no clue. It was hard because none of the computers here exhibited the problem when I played the stream so it was a hard one for me to emulate. I ended up changing my DSP plug-in for Shoutcasting, changing the compressor used, and a few other random things. One of those things fixed it.
