- Posted by nick on November 11th, 2005
hi, i just installed windows xp and now all my music files and video are
playing too fast on all players like i tunes, real, windows media etc etc. i
turned off any sound enhancers they might have in case they conflict,
reinstalled i tunes just in case that was the problem. all music is still
playing too fast how do I solve this or adjust the playback speed ?
thanks

Start by installing updated drivers for your sound card. Never get
drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:
1. The card mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).
Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers.

Right click on My Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager

Not a dumb question at all and I should include this in my usual
"drivers blurb". You can look in Device Manager, but a really good way
to find out what you've got in your machine is to use a free system
inventory program like Everest Home or Belarc Advisor. Here are links:
