Default Sound slightly "slow" ....
Hey all, just noticed that my sound seems to be slightly slow...

That probably doesn't make sense, but my music - the voices sound slower and deeper... and the MSN chimes sound wellll weird. I've made sure I've got the speakers in the right socket... and I've switched them on/off... is this a driver issue or.....

Some sound cards have "effects" sound demo stuff that makes it sound like various locales: theater, underwater, etc. Check your settings..

thanks for the tip, it's onboard graphics 'realtek' etc.... i did go into control panel > sound and canceled all "effects" - none of which were selected, and played around with bitrates, but nada.

Would this be solved by buying a sound card? It's nothing to do with processor timings or shiz is it?! lol

If you have the driver on the mobo disk, try uninstalling it, then reboot the machine and reinstall it.

haha.

this has the WEIRDEST solution ever.

so i was listening to my ipod and the music also sounded slow = me thinking OHNO a virus.

so, then I'm in a club, and the music sounds slow, too. So i start thinking what the frakk it could be.

One of my pills i take daily has a bizarre side effect on some people - pitch shift... only half a pitch, but pitch shift nonetheless!

So any carbamazepine takers out there, don't ditch your sound card cos it's your eaaaaaars!
