When I play some music on my computer, it plays too fast.
I don't know how to get it playing the right speed. This
problem concerns mp3-files, wav-files, etc.

I've seen this before, can you tell us what brand/model sound card you have?

I also have problems with .mp3 files playing too fast. I
have a Dell Optiplex GX150 with what ever sound card comes
with it. The Dell site seems to think is is a Win 2000
issue. Some people have had luck re-installing Intel Chip-
set drivers, but that didn't seem to do it for me. I do
have an add on CD-RW, but the problem existed before that
was installed. and help or insight would be appreciated,
thanks.

Well I have had some success re-installing the sound
drivers. This worked for the config that Paul has as I
have the same system. In some cases you may need to re-
install more than once.

Hi Paul,

Don't know if this is still a problem for you (I've only just read your 2-week old post) but..
If you have an AC'97 soft-audio sound solution (often found integrated on recent motherboards) then you should
1) install the Intel chipset update, which is at
http://support.intel.com/design/software/drivers/platform/inf.htm
..and,
2) get an updated audio driver from Windows Update (Device Manager->AC'97 Audio codec->Driver->Update->select "Windows Update" as a
source location). Basically, the AC'97 codec on some boards is not fully AC'97 compliant, and gives the speeded-up effect when used
with the standard MS Win2K driver. MS have released a patched driver to resolve this. There's info on http://developer.intel.com
about AC'97 if you want to know more about it.

Hope this helps - sorry I wasn't two weeks faster.

Thanks for the hint, I was having the same problem with the ASUS
P4B/AC'97/Win2k and restoring the original driver finally solved it. I
recently updated my chipset driver, which was indeed the source for
this problem.

Cheers,
Arne
