MP3s sound high speed
 

Whenever I play MP3s on my machine with Winamp, they sound like they are playing in high speed. Kinda like when a record is played at a faster than intended speed. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

First thing to check is to make sure the correct Output plugin for normal playback is selected in Prefs (Ctrl+P) -> Output.
This should be either "Nullsoft WaveOut" or "Nullsoft DirectSound".
If you've installed any 3rd party DSP/FX plugins which affect pitch & tempo, goto Prefs -> DSP/FX and select "None".

If same thing happens when you try to play mp3's in other players (eg. WMP)
Then you need to install the correct & latest drivers for your soundcard.

Though I've got a sneaky feeling you don't even have a proper soundcard, but an onboard integrated soundchip instead . . . yes, no, maybe?

You may also have to upgrade DirectX drivers.

Of course, full sys specs certainly wouldn't go amiss!
