Sound Issues

My wifes laptop is Playing all sounds slow (like a 45 record on 33)
this is MP3's Cd's and DVD's. It is On both Windows Media Player
and Real Player. Anyone got a clue as to where to start?:cry :cry :cry

 

First, remove and reload your sound drivers. Second; check your system resources and see what's running in the background and what is loaded at startup and remove any unneeded startup entries and any unused programs. Third; perform some general maintenance- clean your junk files (use CCleaner), defrag your hard drive (use Disk Keeper Lite or O&O or Auslogics or IOBit; all free), and maybe use CCleaner to scan for any registry issues and fix 'em. Fourth; run Dial-A-Fix (link: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4899.html). Fifth; if needed re-install your media player or choose a different one from the Multimedia section here at Major Geeks. Sixth; scan for and remove malware (viruses, spyware, etc). Visit the malware removal forum for more info.
Good luck, and let us know what happens!

Check the play speed settings on both players.I don't use real player,but in WMP: view>enhancements>play speed settings.

 

Thanks for the help. We finally got around to fixing the problem. It was
The driver. After trying several things including using the driver update
function (which did not find any new drivers) We did an online search and found
newer drivers and loaded them and it fixed the problem. By the way this was
a realteck AC97 sound chip.
