Sound playing too fast

umair170 · Feb 26, 2012

Sound is playing very fast, sounds like the Chipmunks.

Intel(R) D945GCCR (integrated on motherboard I believe)

OS: Windows 7 x32

I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and have looked for updated drivers and found none. Problem still persists.

Any help would be appreciated.

It kind of sounds as though it is a program that is set too high. Exactly what sounds are you talking about...all of them, or just those for audio and video?

umair170 · Feb 26, 2012

Everything, I mean even if I'm on call on Skype, the person sounds like a freaking CHIPMUNK

You have nooo Idea how ugly this is :cry:

. I've tried reinstalling the drivers several times, doesn't help. I'm dying to fix it. Pleeeeaaase

The only thing I can think of is that there is a problem outside of the driver or sound card. You might try doing a System Restore to a point prior to the beginning of the problem, recover to a backup image made prior to the problem, run sfc /scannow, or do a repair install. If none of these work, then I would suspect a defective motherboard. Is it new or in warranty?

The problem is entirely driver based. Is this a new install of Windows 7? According to Intel, the board is not driver supported for Windows 7. You could try installing Vista sound drivers. You can locate the current (Vista) drivers at the link below.

The Board is still under a warranty, I'll get it checked tomorrow. But It worked perfectly fine. Just suddenly it started acting this way. The Video's even on YouTube are on a fast forward mode so I doubt there is any hardware issue here. They were all working fine. I tried reinstalling the windows to x32 bit from x64 but that didn't solve the issue either.
I'm sitting here on the forum from the moment I posted my question, you all can assume how freaking irritating this thing is to me. I'll try installing Vista's drivers now, I hope they work

umair170 · Feb 26, 2012

Can't seem to figure out how Can I install Vista driver. When I uninstall my existing driver, it asks me to restart, when It gets restarted it starts searching and installing the driver itself, without any option to cancel or quit -.-

Just install over the top of the current drivers. The download is an installer. Restart the PC after the install if the update doesn't prompt it.

Downloaded AUD_Vista_Win7_6.0.1.6201_PV.exe and installed, of no use. The same driver is of Windows 7 and Vista. Still the problem persists. I'm guessing it has something to do with Windows Media Player Configuration, as the troubleshooter only detects it. I'm guessing It's unable to fix it.

if you reinstalled windows and are getting the same issue, it tends towards hardware issue. You also mentioned it worked before so there is absolutely no reason for it not to work after a win reinstall. Btw, when you say it worked before, was it under win 7 or other version? A way to test this and see if it is hardware or not Downloads | XBMC . Download live version and boot from usb stick or cd. It's completly independent from windows and windows drivers and does not need installation. See if that works. You may also want to try Geexbox http://www.geexbox.org/download/ which is dedicated for separate booting.

There's a few driver downloads on that page you may want to check out. One is for the chipset. The "inf" files are necessary too. This helps Windows configure the chipsets. Review all the updates on that page and verify against your drivers. Or you can run the auto-detect and let Intel update the necessary drivers. After that, make sure Windows auto-update for drivers is turned off.

Okay so here is how the real situation is. I completely formatted my Hard disk, re-installed Windows 7 x32 and added a Sound card hardware, and the same problem exists. The first thing that the new sound card does not make any sound in the speakers, WEIRD, yet the windows show that they are working just fine. Nevermind that, but the issue still exists. All the Video and Audio are still on some kinda Steroids or something. Playing fast. I don't know what I've gotten myself into -.-

Yes, it worked absolutely fine on Windows XP, Windows 7 x64 and Windows 7 x32

It would seem to me, that since you have reinstalled the OS, plus installed a sound card, that the problem must be hardware based (motherboard), unless you didn't disable onboard sound and that is what it is trying to use. However, that sounds unlikely, since that would mean that you are using the sound jacks on the motherboard, rather than on the sound card. However, it is not clear to me, whether the sound is now mute or fast. If mute, then try disabling onboard sound, and check your speaker connections.

Ok, this shouldn't make any difference but...

Right click on your speaker icon on the right side of the task bar.
Click Playback Devices.
Click on the currently selected playback device (Speakers, etc)
Click the Properties button at the bottom of the dialog.
Click advanced.
Use the droplist to select 16bit 44,100 khz (CD Quality)
Then click apply and or OK to close all the dialogs and see if that changes anything...

umair170 · Feb 29, 2012

So now, here are the latest stats.
I tried configuring the Speakers but they do not seem to work. The Jack has been properly inserted and everything. Maybe because the Sound Card is a little old and wasn't being used. Tried disabling and enabling the devices and everything, the drivers are fine, but nevermind that. When the Speaker Jack is placed in the external sound card, the Videos are played normally, but when I placed it back in the Motherboard Sound, it accelerated again, with the same sound. So yeah It's more likely to be a hardware rather than software. I'll be needing to take it to a professional now I suppose.

Thanks alot guys, you all rock

I can understand that since you reinstalled, this would not affect you, but it may help others who are experiencing the same symptoms.

When going into Playback Devices and clicking on the Properties for your speakers, click on the Enhancements tab and make sure that Pitch Shift is NOT checked.

THANK YOU. Just had this same problem, have NO idea how that setting was changed (although I will have to ask my 18 year old daughter who loves to play around), but this was it. Was driving me absolutely crazy.

THANK you . :party:
