Having trouble with audio in XVCD

[nocam1334]

I recently made an XVCD with some music videos. I liked the video quality but the audio is extremely muffled and just sounds terrible. My TV doesn't have stereo sound(it's just a cheap 19" Sanyo), so I think this might have something to do with it. I clicked on the audio button on my player (pioneer dv-c302d) and changed the audio setting from stereo to just left speaker and then just right. That seemed to help a little, but not much. I'm also running the dvd player through an rf modulator, since my TV doesn't have A/V inputs. All it has is a coaxial input. Any advice on what I might be able to do other than get a better TV? Would appreciate any help.

Unless there was a problem in the audio encoding of the xvcd it should at least sound as good as brodcasted material. Shouldn't sound any worse except if your source material audio was muffled also, "garbage in, garbage out"

tOnito, thnx for the post. I've done several with different videos and there are all equally bad. When playing the videos on my computer they sound good, but my computer has stereo sound. I've even tried them on different players and tvs. As long as the TV is decent (stereo sound) it sounds fine. I use tmpgenc to encode and when encoding I select stereo because there is no mono selection available. Is there another setting that I might need to select since I only have a mono tv?
