Video Playback Is 13% Too Slow

[Mark Berlinger]

Realized this problem yesterday while troubleshooting
QuickTime because the audio streams began playing unlocked.
Every other player that I have installed on my Win2kSP4
with DX9.0b machine plays audio and video fine--except for
the fact that fifty-two seconds of audio and video
recording takes sixty seconds to playout. The mainboard is
Asus A7N8X-E that is five months old.

This symptom of slow master clock is shown when using WMP9,
MPlayer2, Zoom Player, Media Player Classic and PowerDVD.
All players exhibit this slow play phenomena.

Does anyone know where the configuration for the master
clock is saved? Is DirectShow corrupt?

A good explanation of this is that intermittently the
advanced power management PIT times out too quickly. This
would speed up the system clock. Possibly this is heat
related; but the motherboard is only 33 degrees C. The
real time clock is ok.
