317928 2005-01-25 09:23:00 I've got a wierd problem affecting my friends pc... whenever I play a sound file, it's sped up. Not like double speed but enough to make Barry White sound a bit like Kurt Cobain (don't ask). She has an old IBM PIII machine, a netvista I recall, and it has onboard AC'97 sound.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's the driver... well I dunno. I would've thought that it wouldn't have worked at all if the driver was a problem... hmm.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, brazzin.

317930 2005-01-25 10:00:00 No, it's with EVERYTHING. Even the startup sound. Sorry I should've said that. Thans. bRaZZiN (2228)

This site suggests a driver update might fix it.

Try the drivers from the manufacturer's site not from Windowsupdate.
