Converting mono to stereo was a trick often done in the early 1960's.
Here's a quick n' dirty method.
1. Always make a safety copy of the sound file. Mark it clearly as an
archive, or "safety dub."
2. With the sound open in Goldwave, create a new sound (CTRL+N) and
specify a stereo soundfile.
3. Copy the original sound to the clipboard.
4. In the new sound you just created, use the combination Ctrl+shift+R
to select the right channel.
5. Mix the mono file into the blank right channel of your new sound.
6. Repeat the process with the laft channel of the new sound, mut set
the start point for mixing the mono track into the stereo sound at about
0.02 seconds. This slight delay will give an illusion of a stereo
sound. You can also then use Stereo Reverb under the Effects, Echo menu
to add some depth. Inverting one of the two channels in the new sound
can also add to the illusion.
Good luck.. Let me know how it works for you.

heading it's fine now.

Kevin,
That effect is sometimes called "wave distortion". It can be caused by
several factors and so I'm going to recommend that you try a few
things to
isolate the issue and eliminate other causes of that distortion.
1. To make sure that the distortion isn't being caused by your computer's
sound card, plug in a set of headphones and then try experimenting
with the
volume.
If you have a digital recorder such as Olympus, try transferring the
file to
the recorder. Then play it on there. If the wave distortion doesn't
continue, then it's your sound card or amplifier.
There are many features available in Gold Wave which can change the way a
sound is heard by passing it through various filters. First, make a
copy of
the file.
Then, try filtering the sound using the Gold Wave features.
Finally, a distortion like that might be a part of the original recording
but isn't as noticeable at lower volumes. It is a given fact that
when you
add more power to an output, you add more headroom giving the signal a
chance to distort.
Good luck.
