The speed of the sound coming out of the chip is too fast. Perhaps it was designed in Europe where the frequency of their electrical network is 50 Hz It is 60 Hz here and may speed it up unless they designed a way to calibrate it. Chances are it was not thought out that well at the design stage.
Chipmunk
Sounds From Computer Speakers My
wife had an interesting issue over the weekend. Anything she played on
her computer came through the speakers sounding like chipmunks. You've
heard the Alvin and the Chipmunks albums, that's what it sounded like.
It didnt matter if it was a Windows sound (wav file), and MP3, a WMV,
or any other multimedia. Everything sounded like a chipmunk was playing
it. The sounds were played too fast and too high pitched.
Her
computer is an Acer with a Realtek sound card built into the
motherboard. It has the Realtek HD Audio Manager built into it and I
thought at first that something had changed with the audio settings.
However, after examining the audio utility and choosing to reset the
environment back to its defaults the chipmunk sound was still present.
he
Realtek Manager also has an option for Karaoke Mode, which basically
removes the voice track when playing a song. Changing this feature had
no effect on the system.
Uninstalling and Reinstalling the
Sound Card
The
only way I found to truly fix the issue was to uninstall and reinstall
the Sound Card. Follow the directions below to accomplish this.
1) Open Device Manager by Right-clicking on My Computer and choosing
Properties. Then click on Device Manager
2)
Under the Sound, Video, and Game Controllers section, Right-click on
Realtek High Definition Audio and then click on Uninstall.
3) Close the Device Manager and Reboot your computer
4)
After the computer reboots, allow it to automatically find the Realtek
audio device on its own and reinstall the drivers. You may be required
to reboot the computer a second time after the drivers for the sound
card load.
5) Test the sound card by playing an MP3, WAV, WMA, or other sound or
by watching a video online.
The
problem should be fixed. If for some reason, you are still experiencing
a chipmunk-like sound coming from your speakers, visit the sound card
manufacturers website and download and install new drivers for the
sound card.
Re-install your sound driver, and see if that solves your problem,,
Let me know if that worked,
You can remove your sound driver from the device manager , by right clicking on my computer, select Properties, and then under the harware tab you'll find device manager
I bought my daughter this player and downloaded music on it. a week later the music on the player will show Unknown on all the music put on the player. can anyone help clear why it does that.
I would try to update the drivers for your sound card. If there is not an update try uninstalling the driver and re-installing it again. I had this problem with my speakers recently and this worked for me. Did not have the chipmunks sound though.
You may have to balance the equalizer in order to restore the proper sound. if there is a default sound option then you should go ahead with that. yo have to access this by going to options by the sound image on the bottom right hand sidde of the screen.
It sounds like your Friend,Try to load something to your Player,Take the model 3 and make and Put it in the Browser and look for the Proper Software For it you might lose the music you have on it,But at least,It will Work
