I am having problems with the sound coming from my pc.
I troubleshoot my sound card and drivers and they seem to be working properly.
However, on listening to voice, music data, the sould appears to be v.fast and high pitched.
On my Volume CONTROL application, when i change the volume control it has no effect on my sound. However, when i change the wave control it increases or decreased the volume accordingly.
I cannot see what is wrong. Any ideas??have you downloaded the up to date drivers for the audio of your mobo? or have you installed the sound drivers for ur mobo?Yes.. Usually it's the sound DRIVER that creates that chipmunk affect with music... But I've also seen some players cause the problem too.. Which player do you USE?yes, i updated my drivers but then on re-booting my pc it failed so i had to uninstall these drivers, and reinstalled the old ones. I have troubleshooted these and they appear to be working correctly.they're working correctly? I thought you said you heard the music on fast forward.. Or something to that effect..i normally use real player but i sometimes use WINAMP. It is the same effect for bothyou sure youre downloading the right audio drivers for ur model of mobo? it has to be for that specific mobo or else there could be dire consequencesOn troubleshooting my drivers the message "This device is working properly" appears. However, yes i am still getting a funny sound.I know that we had a batch of onboard audio devices that would look to work fine with a particular driver, but had the chipmunk affect. When we installed the SoundMax driver, it fixed it.ok thanks, ill double check my drivers and maybe play around with a few different ones. Hopefully this will help.
thanksBe careful! The wrong driver could damage the hardware.I have fixed the problem!
I had reinstalled Windows 2000 on my PC which caused the ERROR. When Windows 2000 is reinstalled, it detects the Analog Devices audio chipset (ADA 1885) but the native driver that is loaded is not appropriate for the chipset and causes the audio to play at the incorrect speed.
To solve the problem install the updated Windows 2000 audio drivers from support.dell.com for your system type.The golden rule is that you should always obtain drivers directly from the hardware vendor where possible. The Windows driver catalogue is, to be honest, a bit of a joke.
