I can’t track down what’s causing it, but iTunes plays everything (music and videos) at super chipmunk speed. Rebooting fixes it for awhile. It doesn’t happen on my iPod. I Googled around a bit and found some other people with the problem, but the answer was invariably to reformat, which seems drastic. Anyone else encountered this?
Heh, wow. Do other media players still work?
This might be a long shot, but is there a chance that anything is feeding a digital signal IN to your computer?
I had something similar happen many years ago. One of my guitar processors was connected to one of my audio interfaces on a S/PDIF connection. If the unit was set to 48khz, then the rest of my system would sync to it, and things such as Windows Media Player would play at chipmunk speeds. If I set the processor to output at 44.1khz, then everything would be fine.
Just a thought - hope it helps.
I would temporarily rename the itunes preference file and see if that fixes the problem.
Under Vista, the pref file is located here:
C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml
I’d also doublecheck that everything is okay in Quicktime since iTunes relies on that for more than just video playback, IIRC.
Have you loaded any third party codec packs like All-in-one or CCCP?
I do have KLite installed, and come to think of it, the DOW2 beta’s intro is messed up too. I’ll try uninstalling KLite. Thanks!
No problem, I hope it works. You might want to reinstall iTunes afterward.
