Listening to Shoutcast stations at work makes the song play fast, what gives?

Narkissus · 5th November 2004, 20:13

Every singer sounds like a chipmunk and the beats are way too fast. Its especially annoying because I know what all the songs should sound like. Are there any tempo settings or anything I can look at to see why this might be happening?

Thanks!

Make sure you have the latest Winamp (5.05 at the time of this reply).

Are you using a DSP/Effect plug-in?...
1. Winamp > Ctrl+P
2. Plug-ins > DSP/Effect
3. Select (none)

Maybe the following DirectSound config. Tweaks

Otherwise, a speed playback problem is usually a sign of outdated or corrupted sound drivers. If you have a soundcard go the manufacturer's website for updates. If you have an on board sound chip, go to the website of your computer provider or the manufacturer of the mother board.
