I have a laptop that is running Windows XP and when I try to play any mp3 or
avi file the audio or audio & video plays at about 1.5x speed. I have updated
the drivers for the video card and that didn't work. I am stumped and out of
money so I can't take it to somebody and have them check it out. If you
suggest updating the audio driver, how do I find out what card I have and
what do I do if the updated driver doesn't show up on Windows Update?

Thanks!
 
I was having the same problem with mp3 files. Started happening after I ran
Windows update. It turns out that one of the things that was updated was the
audio card driver. I rolled it back to the old XP standard audio driver and
it went back to playing at normal speed. Hope this works for you.
 
I tried to roll back the driver and it said that there isn't a driver backed
up. The version of the driver that I have is dated 7/1/2001. Any other
suggestions out there?
 
Have you resolved your problem cause i have the same and don't know what
to do.

Have you looked at the website of the manufacturer of your sound card for
drivers? The Device Manager should give you the information you need about
the card.
