Music plays slowwwwwlllyyy

[David Burkinshaw]

I have a Compaq Evo N610c (2.4 P4m with 512 MB). It played WMA files fine a
few weeks ago but today when I started up my home made MP3/WMA player, the
music played horribly slow. I then opened the files with Windows Media
Player 9.00.00.3075 and got the same results. Changing the speed didn't
help. It still sounded slow. It's like playing a 45 at 33 (for those of you
who remember vinyl.) Increasing the speed sounds like a faster version of a
45 being played at 33.
I went into the Advanced Audio Properties options in Sounds. The Hardware
Acceleration was at "Full" and the Sample Rate Conversion Quality was at
"Good" so I moved that one to "Best" but to no avail.


Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks

David

Which post are you referring to?
The only one I see is [ANN]: NNTP Server Slow Downs.

The problem I'm having is that ALL sounds are currently playing in slow
motion. Even my system sounds are slow.

Okay, just rebooted my laptop and all is well.
