Dodgy MP3's or Dodgy Surround Sound?

Been having an issue over the past few months where on some mp3's the volume seems to undulate. ie get louder and quiter.. it's really pissing me off now!

i installed a codec/proggy for winamp to regulate the sound volume between mp3's a while back so was wondering if it was that but it still happens in media player (not sure if the codec/proggy i insalled affects all players?)

i have removed my creative sound card so thats not the isssue - it's is either my surround set up or a software issue i guess - was just wondering if any of u have encountered a similar problem?

erm pretty sure a codec will affect all players, but a codec is different from a program, and a program will probably only be affecting Winamp, why don't u send me one of the MP3s and i'll see if i get the same effect?
