[Solved] Audio too fast?

I've got Arch running in a VM in vmware fusion on a mac.  Everything is great, but the audio... i think.   When I try to play an MP3, its like rythmbox is on fast-forward.  The same thing happens on youtube.  I'm assuming its an audio problem, but I may be wrong.  Has anyone come across this before?

Fast forward audio is likely the case of having a lower samplerate input than the output frequency. This shouldn't normally happen, but it may happen if ALSA doesn't properly resamples the audio before it goes out of the soundcard. Can you try different sound files with different sample rate in them and see if there's a speed difference in them?

  • Audio too fast on locally streaming content.

    I have an Apple TV 2 hard wired to my Airport Extreme and I'm streaming videos from iTunes on my Macbook and on some videos the audio is too fast.  The characters sound high pitched and it goes off sync with the video.  When I made the videos I ran them all through the same preset on handbrake.  When watching them on my MacBook everything is prefect.  But when I use the Apple TV to watch them using Home Sharing (not AirPlay) the audio speeds up.  The funny thing is I re-downloaded one of the videos and re-encoded it and that same video gave me issues again.  So far I'm only seeing the issues with two of the videos, but I'm not sure why it's only an issue when streamed.  I tried AirPlay though iTunes and the same problem.  However if I open it with Quicktime and mirror the display I don't have the problem.
    Thoughts fixes?

    how do you play it on the car stereo?
    because if it's using the 3.5mm headset connector or even the analog out from the pin30 then it's
    100% the same sound output from the phone as it provide a headset

  • [SOLVED] music too fast through maudio 24/96, but normal through HDMI

    Hi,
    I have a weird issue on my media center. It's a headless system running kodi, nfs and subsonic.  Music plays too fast through the soundcard. It's gaining 4 seconds on every minute. Sound via HDMI is fine. It's happening with any soundsource (subsonic,kodi, mp3, flac)
    I am running out of ideas where to look. Any input?

    I did not, but now that you say it... And that's exactly what happened. Somehow it got reset to 48000.
    Thanks a lot! Sometimes things are so easy :-)

  • Video too fast, Audio correct speed

    I have just returned from a location shoot. I used Panasonic Pro Cameras. Have just captured the footage and itruns much too fast, the audio runs at a normal speed. Do not understand the problem, everything was standard settings. When I play the AVI in Windows Media Player it plays just fine. Any ideas anyone?

  • Audio books play back too fast on iPad

    Audiobook play back too fast on iPad .Ok when played back computer have tried re setting iPad and adjusting speech speed

    Have your rebooted/restarted your iPad? you do that by pressing the Home and power/sleep button at the same time until the slider to power off the iPad appears. Slide the slider and when screen activity stops depress the two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. When the iPad completes rebooting try again to see if that solved your problem.

  • Audio on audiobooks is distorted (too fast). Any way to slow it down?)

    After installin iOS5.0 I downloaded several audiobooks from Audible.com and noted that the audio was too fast. Previously installed books were fine. The distorted books play fine on my iPhone 3GS and on the iTunes on my laptop. Deleted the "bad"audiobooks and reinstalled - same problem. Restored the software - no change. Updated the iOS to 5.0.1 and no change. Any ideas?

  • Music/audio plays too fast

    using a new laptop (this compaq) and installed itunes. All music/audio, whether from a CD, or itunes or the audio from a website, plays too fast. I've tried lots of things -found a page in the support section (tried all except the driver thing) -- ANY THOUGHTS?? THis is driving me crazy and can't do anything w/ my ipod except listen to what's already on there!

    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
    And this Article: iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly
    And before you do any of the above, make sure that you have all the recent Windows Updates from windowsupdate.com. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your particular sound card, and make sure you have the latest DirectX installed. Any of these could also cause this problem without QuickTime being the culprit.

  • Audio playback too fast

    I have an ipad2 and I'm having problems with the audio. The playback of audio files saved on the ipad is too fast. The same files playback perfectly on my pc. This is not the case for audio streams playing directly over internet radio - no problems there.
    Any suggestions of what can be done?

    Try quitting the iPod app. First go to the home screen. You cannot quit an app if you are in the app itself that you want to quit.
    Quit the app by double tapping the home button to bring up the multitasking/recents tray at the bottom, hold down on any of the app icons in the tray until all the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the corner to quit the offending app or apps. Restart the iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, find your app, and tap the icon to relaunch.

  • .mov files - video too fast, audio ok

    HI!
    I have a problem with .mov files. They play and the sound is ok, but video plays too fast and i ahead of audio. I'm sure the video is too fast, because i can see when someone is talking that it's way too fast. I've tried reinstalling quictime, installing older versions, reinstalling direct x and graphics drivers. I even tried quictime alternative. Nothing helps. This happens to files that i have on my disc.And it only happens on my computer, on my brothers it plays just fine, so the files are ok.
    Can anyone help?
    thnx, Blaz

  • IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

    iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.  What can be done?

    Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks.  But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
    First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

  • Audio book plays too fast on the ipad - how do i fix it?

    audio book plays too fast on the ipad - how do i fix it?

    While I don't listen to audiobooks on myh iPad, the following might apply in your case:
    When you navigate to the player controls in the iPod app, in older OS's, and perhaps still in the Music app in iOS 5, you will see a variable speed control on the right hand side of the scrubber bar. Sequential taps on that change the speeds.
    This does appear in spoken content only, I think, as I see it in podcasts all the time. It's not there for video or music content, so I'd expect it to appear for Audiobooks as well.

  • Audio plays too fast in Flash 8 FLV encoded from Quicktime MOV

    I'm rendering out from VT4 (Newtek Video Toaster) to a
    Quicktime MOV file that is re-encoded in the Flash 8 media encoder.
    In the past I've used the 32 bit floating point audio format coming
    out of VT4, which worked when playing just a MOV file. But now,
    when re-encoding the MOV file in Flash 8, the audio runs fast, or
    is maybe truncated somehow so it sounds that way.
    I have several choices for a MOV audio format, is there one
    that Flash 8 media encoder is 'wanting' to see?
    Thanks,
    TW

  • Pulse audio plays too fast

    pulseaudio seems to be playing my sound way too fast
    Is there any way to slow it down?

    nevermind, fixed with the help of someone on the pulseaudio irc channel
    fixed by disable multirate locking and decreasing the multitrack internal clock samplerate to 48000
    by the way, does anyone know how to change the samplerate of the output stream?

  • Video Audio plays too fast

    I seem to have this problem with videos from
    finance.yahoo.com when I never had this problem? Anyway to slow it
    down? I don't recall ever having this problem and I did a uninstall
    reinstall of flash player. works on youtube, etc with no problem
    but every videos from finance.yahoo.com is too fast.

    Does Streamclip allow you to choose between Type 1 and Type 2 DV AVI? If so then you want Type 2 in your conversions.
