This computer problem is really **bug** ging me out. Get it…? Bug… Anyway…I just finished building a new PC. It’s a 2.8 gig 800mhz front side bus smoking fast system with a 6 channel out sound card. Every thing works fine except for the audio. Every sound, song and wave file is being played at a higher speed and all of my music (CD’s or radio) sounds like the Chipmunks are singing the songs. What is doing this?? The only thing that I could think of was that perhaps I had mistakenly over clocked the mother board by mistake but this is not the case. All diagnoses utilities clock my bus and CPU speed as being correct. I tested the sound card out in another system and it works fine so the card is not the problem. Has anyone heard of such a problem or have an idea of what is causing this??? ---

Tell us more about your motherboard and soundcard (brand, manufacture, etc.) I’ve heard of this problem occuring, though yours seems more severe since it applies to EVERY sound file played. ---
