Music sounds like chipmunks

All our music is on a sub drive. We added a new drive for daily use. I moved the iTunes music folder to look at the old file and then imported them to my iTunes Library. Now they are visable and play but the timing is way off.
I tried the error correcting before importing but that seems to be for new CD additions.
Any help would be appreciated.

You may want to check your soundcard output in QuickTime. See this post for directions on the process: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa;jsessionid=aXxb7IZbMDPmI_4E?messageID=814726&ft=y&#814726

My internal speakers sound like chipmunks talking on them when i play anything on the computer

Audio output using Logitech Clearchat Pro USB headset sounds like chipmunks

I use a Logitech Clearchat USB headset for online meetings daily. On my previous machine (Black MacBook 2GHz) the headphones and mic worked fine. I just upgraded to a new 2.66 Unibody MacBook Pro and while the microphone works fine but the audio in the headphones sounds like chipmunks. If I switch the audio output to the speakers, the audio sounds fine.
Logitech claims that since the drivers the headphones use are built-in, it's not their issue. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this problem and how I might be able to get it resolved.
Thanks.

' orangehat I sincerely hope you (we?) get an answer on this one! I ordered exactly the same headset the same time I did my 17-inch MBP. Still waiting for everything to be delivered - so can't say as yet whether I have the problem too. Hoping not.
' Hoping there's an answer to your question anyways so I can get an idea of things before my kit lands (IF that EVER actually HAPPENS!!!)

Converting cassette to cd using garageband. Voice on cassette sounds like chipmunk. Is there a way to fix the speed during recording on garageband, so the voice sounds normal?

Librarian Asst. needs your help! Trying to preserve WWII veteran's interviews presently on cassette. However, on one cassette the voices sound like chipmunks (speed too fast during recording). I know how to transfer the cassette recording onto garageband. I just don't know how to transfer the recording at a slower speed, so that the voices will sound normal. Is there a way? Please help. Thanks.

You could try two things (sorry, I can only point you to the current settings in GB'11, since I no longer have GB '09) but it should be very similar.
The easiest thing would be, if the vocal transformers do work. You can change the pitch of a voice using a "Vocal Transformer" effect. Click the "Edit" tab in the "Info" panel and click an empty brick to add a filter:
If that does not work, try to change the timing of the track. Enable "Follow Tempo&Pitch". If GB '09 does not have "follow tempo & pitch", record your tape directly into a Real Instrument track in GB to record a purple region.
Use the tempo slider in the LED display to lower the tempo, till the recording does sound more natural.
Good Luck,

Music Sounds Like the Chip Munks singing

I have an a6537c Pavilion and the music sounds like junk. Sounds like the Chip Munks. What can I do?

Well... sounds like you have an audio enhancement enabled. There are a few places where they can be set. Check the following places to turn them off:
Windows Media Player 11
1. Play music
2. Right-click menu bar.
3. From the menu that opens, select View, Enhancements, and Play Speed.
4. Adjust the Play Slider to 1.0
Windows Sound (Realtek codec)
1. Right click the volume icon next to the time in the taskbar.
2. Select Sounds.
3. Select the Playback tab.
4. Select your default playback device denoted by a green circle with a check (probably Speakers).
5. With the playback device selected, click the Properties button.
6. Click the Enhancements tab.
7. Select Disable all sound effects.
8. Click OK.
Hope this helps.

Voice sounds like chipmunks when I use my headphones, how can I fix that?

I have a MacBook Air and a Cinema display. Sound is fine but When I use my headphones for chat (YM), our voices sound like chipmunks. How can I fix this? I appreciate any help.

It is plugged-in. I tried it with several headphones and it still the same chipmunk voice. I even used my wireless headphones but no luck.

No bass-music sounds like a tin can. Cannot adjust sound

I just got a new Ipod. My music sounds terrible. No bass-the music sounds like a tin can and I cannot adjust the sound. HELP

I'm having this problem too. Additionally, sometimes the tinny music comes through the external speaker as well as the headphones. When the sound is 'off', the volume cannot be adjusted.
My nano is more or less possessed, actually. The artwork for my music is absolutely bizarre - not just wrong and mixed with another album cover that I actually have, but completely random artwork.
I can handle the strange and frequently amusing artwork - the inability to adjust my sound and inability to turn off the external speaker is killing me.
The apple store recommended restoring the nano through itunes, which seemed to help the artwork issue, but the speaker/earbud issue just seemed to get progressively worse.
Sorry for the lack of answers - I would love, love, love to fix this and have a properly functioning nano (my classic has been perfect for YEARS). Still, sometimes it seems to help to commiserate.

Nano sounds terrible, music sounds like it's in a tunnel!

I loaded my entire I-Tunes library on my new nano, but the music sounds like it is in a tunnel. I have tried 4 different pairs of headphones and completely wiped it out and RE-loaded the library again, with the same results. I tried to change the EQ option, but nothing has helped. Any suggestions or should I go back to the Apple store to get a new one?

had the same problem...seems alot of people are...the headphones may appear to be all the way in but they aren't. i shoved them in and they work fine now

Music sounds like a CD

Today, as I was online and listening to music, but the music all of a sudden sounded like a scratched CD that doesn't play. It just happened for a little bit, but I wanted to know if it's normal. I was on Google while I was listening to music.

First check your computer's iTunes library for any content that may seem to have scratchy music. If you find any audio recordings on there that are this way, you could report this problem on your account:
* Store - View My Account
* Purchase History
* Comb through all your purchases for the bunched up titles
* Press the right arrow next to the billed purchase
* Click "Report a Problem"
* Explain the situation when you purchased the music
If it seems to be not from the computer but from the iPhone, two solutions:
* Reboot the iPhone on a complete shutdown (Hold power and turn off)
* Go onto iTunes PC when the iPhone is plugged in and disable music sync or uncheck all music.
** iPhone - Music Tab - Sync Music
or
** Checkbox "Sync checked music and songs" from the PC's iPhone screen
** Go to music on PC iTunes
** CTRL+A - Right Click - Uncheck Selection
* Resync to delete all iPhone music
* Undo what you did to readd the music

Hi,
I have the same issue on my HP Win8 desktop.My voice is disguised as chipmunk to the other party. I can hear everybody fine. I followed the exact instruction and tried search for the folder named "Skype" through writing %appdata% in the Search /Run box as I've read in the previous post, but it did not find a such folder. I don't have a problem using Skype on my laptop supported by Win 7. Anybody out there knows how to fix this? I reinstalled Skype and still the same.
What is the version of Skype program installed on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.

Music sounds like it is under water

Hi all,
I recently got a new computer... IBM Thinkpad T43 and I installed iTunes 6. Now when I play music it sounds like it is under water or experiencing interference from somewhere. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but that didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I experience the exact problem, but I cant find the topic where there was a solution posted... my ITunes Music very often sounds like under water, static interferences and all the rest of it, but the files are not damaged, they work perfectly well in WMP, WinAmp, RealPlayer...

After rebooting from Idle State, music sounds like vibrating not normal

After shutting off my computer into the idle state and restarting it (so all the programs that have been open before are in the same state again), iTunes does not play music normal anymore.
The music sounds as if it is cut into many pieces, a long tone would be cut into many very short tones and it sounds like vibrating.
It does not help to exit iTunes (really exit it in the system tray), only reboot helps.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

VO sounds like chipmunks in viewer

When I play a VO in the viewer it sounds like it's sped up big time. When I bring it to the timeline it sounds fine. It's an aiff file. I've tried a couple of different VO's and the all do this. Any reason why?

Maybe you could post a sample for someone to have a look at .... as for the why, the Viewer and Timeline windows treat clips very much differently. The Viewer is playing the clip back according to its source settings whereas the Canvas/Timeline is playing it back according to the sequence settings as applied to that source.

Changing voice pitch to sound like chipmunk

I understand one has to go to the timeline view and then it is easier but i cannot seem to find how to do this in IMOVIE 08. I just want to make a video where my voice is really high pitched

The movie sound track behaves slightly different from normal tracks.
For me the following did work:
Silence your movie track by clicking the speaker icon in the track head
Create a new basic real instruments track.
Copy the regions from the movie track to this new track.
On this new track you can set all filters as you like.
To set a chipmunk voice:
select the new track
open the Inspector (cmd-I)
click the edit-tab, and click a free field to add an effect, select "vocal transformer" and set it to "Chipmunk"
To be able to answer your question why your helium breath sounds "echoy", it would help to know what kind of sound your movie has (music, vocals?) and what kind of real instrument track you used for the audio movie track.

Music sound like tape being chewed up

Hi, This problem started today, I've never experienced this but the music that was playing just started sounding really bad (like a really dodgy music download from Limewire,) each time I clicked on another track the sound would get worse some instruments or vocals could be heard in the distance or it would sound really mangled. Don't know what's happened but now it's happening on my iPod (Classic, 80gb) that was connected (to my mac). I restarted the mac and restarted the ipod, all was sounding good for about 15minutes then it started happening again slightly, so I disconnected the iPod and turned off iTunes. Has anyone experienced this or would know what's going on?
Any help would be appreciated.

I am having a similar problem on Windows XP SP3. Certain types of files are completely distorted after the upgrade, such as MPEG-1 and 2, like podcasts. They are unintelligible. The less compressed files, like AAC and AIFF, seem fine. I have not found any way to fix the problem yet, figured I would speak up like you.
