Sound heard is faster and high pitched than normal...
I had a Celeron 700MHz 256MB SDRAM 60GB HDD Desktop PC. Things were working fine but I needed a faster processor. So I bought a Desktop PC having the following config: P4, 2.4GHz, 512MB DDR2 RAM, 80GB HDD, Intel 845GL Chipset/MotherBoard, Realtek AC'97 Sound chip.
I find that the sound -- regardless of the type of media file played (MP3, MPG movie, WMV, any games, MIDI, WAV, etc.) is faster and also high pitched than what it should normally be. Its sounds like when a person inhales helium and then speaks. Even the music is fast & High Pitched. I tried uninstalling & re-installing the drivers, downloading codecs & installing them & umpteen number of things but I'm now tired of going through all this. Could anyone please post me a correct & proven solution to my problem. Keep in touch on my -mail address i.e. [email protected] or [email protected]. Thanks.

2 things. make sure your mic is in the correct spot (pink colored) if its usb mic make sure via the sound options that neither the mic or usb mic is muted. its in the volume options and you may have to expand it. it will either say mic, usb mic, or line in
You need to make sure you have a processor of at least 700mhz. Two 256MB modules no problem. Many times you can buy a used laptop on ebay (either 9300 or Compaq armada e500) with the two 256MB modules included a lot cheaper than just buying 2 new 256MB modules. The Compaq Armada and 9300 modules interchangeable. Either way, you can still buy 2- 256MB modules(PC100/133 SDRAM 144PIN LOW DENSITY) for under $40.00 shipped. Very easy to install. I suppose if you have a P4 processor you could even go larger. I use Linux, which is 3-4 times faster than windows anyways, with no viruses etc. I have two 9300 laptops running like so with no problems whatsoever. Extremely fast(with ubuntu), too! If you haven't tried Ubuntu operating system you haven't lived. I'm no computer geek and find it so simple and fast. Free downloads on internet or buy a Live CD on ebay for a buck to try out without having to install.
The max for your system is 512MB. You have two memory slots and one has a 128MB chip so if you want 512MB, you need two 256MB chips and throw away the 128MB.
At Newegg, a 256MB chip is $42+ shipping of $1. I'd consider getting a new computer instead.
I don't think memory upgrade will tax your system cooling.
hi check your device manager is there any unknown driver that shows by this sign(!) exclamation point if there is it means your driver not compatible or match you need to find the compatible one or may be you need the HDMI driver for your sound card don't forget vot as you want
i have the same please help!!!!!!!!
