WIndows Media Player PROBLEMS!!! PLease Help

by ramroopk May 23, 2007 2:51PM PDT

Well I currently have Windows Media Player 9 (WMP9) and I am having a problem with it. K, well there are music files that I downloaded and keep on my computer and when I play it in WMP9 they work great! but there is this one song that is sounding like chipmunks everytime I play it in WMP9. But when I transferred the song to my laptop and played in on the laptop it works great. Also I have noticed that when I want to play some songs on the web (songs that you can listen to on line), it would also play like chipmunks, but if I go on another site and listen to songs with the same player it would work great. The drivers are updated, and i rebooted my computer 3 times already, can someone please help me. It is frustrating when it only happens on certain websites but on individual mp3 file. I did all the things in the control panel, I don't know what else to do. My laptop and the desktop have the same widows media but the laptop works great and the desktops make no sense. Thanks

Delete this one file and forget about it.

While you could adjust the playback speed and fix the MP3 file with AUDACITY I decline to offer any tutorial on this. Just delete the bad file and re-rip it from your CD.

Later you claim other files do this but didn't share the make/model of the PC. Windows Update gets the wrong driver so there is no way for me to tell you which driver I'd use. It's a common problem but you stopped me from helping you fix it.
