So, here's an interesting issue. It seems to be random, I can't find a pattern to this problem at all, but my sound will suddenly start playing super fast. Music, streaming music, music on my iphone/ipod, sound in games seems to be hit or miss, some sounds will be normal while others will be playing at a fast speed. I just now started my computer up without having run any games or programs yet and its playing my music/sounds at the faster speed. Usually a restart will fix it temporarily. I figured it was just a problem with my sound card so I've reinstalled the drivers, three times now, and once in safemode just to be sure nothing was screwing up the installation.

The soundcard I have is a Creative SB X-Fi XtremeMusic. I'm not sure if its an issue with the card, or another program causing all the trouble. Not sure where to begin troubleshooting after the drivers...

*edit

Well, I went ahead and did a fourth try on the drivers, I completely uninstalled, restarted, then installed and restarted the computer... I'll see how that goes.

Failed again. Still the same problem.

Still no change in this issue, the Creative forums haven't been any help either.

Try this...
1. In Control Panel, open Sounds and Audio Devices.

2. On the Volume tab, in the Speaker settings area, click the Advanced button.

3. In the Advanced Audio Properties dialog box, click the Performance tab, and then adjust the Hardware acceleration slider control to adjust the clock timing for your sound card.

I'll play with that and see what happens.

Slowly adjusted it, all the way down to none over the course of the past two days, still having the problem.

Maybe, card itself. I'd try it in another computer.
