It seems my links to earlier messages don't work for everyone
(for instance when the said message hasn't been downloaded into
their OE. Thanks to ... who reported that problem). So I am
replicating here the message where I gave the fix to that
annoying problem (my apologies for the bandwidth used).

Subject: Sound too fast: SOLVED! Intel Accelerator culprit
Thanks Sven! Your advice lead me to the fix. Now my sound is OK.
To help the next ones, here are:
1) The fix: just REINSTALL SOUND DRIVER (Yes, sometimes just
doing the obvious does it!).
2) Explanation: Intel Accelerator software seems causing the
flaw when installed *after* the sound driver. Then you
just need to reinstall the sound driver - usually you
don't even need to update it.
3) How found: http://www.google.com , Groups,

It only happens on them with the onboard audio from what i
have seen and it appears to depend on the order from which
you install the drivers and the intel chipset drivers. If
you uninstall the SoundMax stuff from add/remove programs
in control panel, reboot and the reinstall the software it
should go back to normal.....
I have set up about 350-400 Optiplexes (gx150, 240, & 260's)
and this is the way we have to do it if we don't install the
intel chipset drivers first.
4) How tested:
Among my PCs, only the finest one was affected, since Sept 2003:
Asus P4T533-C, P4 1.8A, 2*128 MB RAMBUS PC800,
sound on mobo, Altec Lansing ACS56.
I went in Device Manager, where I have:
- Sound, video and game controllers
|__Intel(R) 82801BA/BAM AC '97 Audio Controller - 2445
I double-clicked that last one, updated driver to the one given by Asus
(http://www.asus.com/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4T533-C&Type=Latest):

and wow! after the required Restart, the great sound was back.
