When windows media player is used for music playback, the sound is "chipmunk, alvin!!, like. It is NOT the playback speed, i tried this. The vocals sound speeded up, but the music is fairly normal. Any suggestion are appreciated in advance.

Does this occur on both music files and CDs or CDs only?

The MP3 files on the hard disk are the ones affected. If one transfers the music to an MP3 player the sound playback is normal. So, I do not suspect a corrupt file. Best guess is the sound card/drivers ?

Well I did see this and today I tried this. It was not a sucessful venture. I did end up having to replace the audio file and codec files. I really do not know how it got like this, but the deal is done. Thank you all for your input and I really do appreciate your efforts on this sight.
