Weird sounds issue

woody · 11-05-2005, 12:08 AM

Ok, so this is on a friend's computer, not the one in my sig. It's a Dell 1.8 GHz, 256 RAM, Windows 2000 SP 4, GeForce 2 MX and i think this is the sound card (i'm not very good with sound cards) Intel 82801BA/BAM AC '97 Audio Controller - 2445.

A while back, and for no reason i can fathom the computer just started playing all media files at really high speed so they're high pitched and pretty useless. I can't work out what's going on. Any ideas would be much appreciated and if you need more info just ask. Thanks!

The only thing i can think of is:

If this is only on windows media player then on version 9 (or it might be 10) there is a "play speed settings" feature that may be adjusted wrong.

If the above suggestion doesn't work, check the Dell site and load some new drivers.

It's not just Media Player, it's everything. I've had a look on the web and apparently it's due to using a non-Dell sound card driver. I haven't got access to the computer at the mo but i suspect that is the problem.
