WAV files play back too fast

When I choose File->Open to open an AIFF, MP3 or other file in Audition CS6, it simply plays back at normal speed. However, when I open a WAV file, it plays back at double speed (voices become high-pitched). NOTE: The sample rate (44.1) and bit size settings match exactly. This is not a sample rate issue. The frame rate is NOT set to custom.
This happens only to WAV files. The platform Mac OS X 10.8.3. Any ideas?

For some reason the songs seem to play back faster than they should. Any ideas?
How much faster? Have you timed the playback speed with a stop watch and compared the actual duration with the duration (Time) in the browser?
If youtube plays back slower, it might be caused by the network.
I have only seen this on iTunes for Windows so far - you are not by any chance on Windows right now, are you?
Are you running the latest version of iTunes?
And do you have any non-standard Audio devices installed - look at System Preferences > Audio > Output ?
Did you install any Audio Drivers?
Also look at the Audio Devices in Audio MIDI setup (Applications > Utilities):
Check the Format for you output device if it is set to 441000 Hz (compare the setting to the sample rate you see on your songs in the iTunes Library).
If this setting is wrong, iTunes may try to playback at the wrong speed.

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.

H264/ACC Stream plays back too fast on some computers

Hi all,
we got some feedback from some of our customers (about 1%) that the QuickTime streams we provide (H.264/ACC) play back too fast, about double the original rate and sound is dropping out.
I have not seen this problem myself and there is no particular movie, which does not work. It seems to be the client setup (QT settings, video card whatever).
Does anybody know what happens?
Thanks
NikWest

Hi T-MACK,
This may not be much help but I had the same problem. Inspection showed that I'd inadvertantly set the camera on long play when shooting the footage. It seemed fine when importing into imovie but playback appeared to be double speed. I posted a question on this forum but couldn't get a satisfactory solution. Re-setting the camera and reimporting didn't help. However, I borrowed a friends camcorder and reimported the same video from that. It worked. I can't see why but it did.
Perhaps sommeone will come up with a better answer.

Audio is playing back too fast

In previewing, the audio plays fine for about 15 secs and
then starts playing back very fast (aka chipmunk sounding). Sounds
like sample rates got out of sync.
Suggestions?

Let's see if we can figure out the cause ... that might help
us with the "cure".
1) How are you listening to it - locally as in F4 preview?
Single-slide preview? From a remote location (web)? Locally after
publishing?
2) How many slides are covered during that 15 seconds of
"good" audio?
3) Same slides every time, or does it play well for only 15
seconds no matter which slide you start on?
4) How was the audio put
into the movie? Created by "narrative" during the recording
process? Imported from a 3rd party audio recorder - if so, what
format was it in when imported, WAV or MP3? Inserted manually
during editing, on a slide-by-slide basis?
5) What IS the sample rate and other "stats" for the audio
file(s)? *You can check this from the dialog at "Audio >
Advanced Audio" . . .
6) Is it Alvin? Theodore? Which chipmunk? And in fact, did a
chipmunk actually DO the audio??
Thanks for your added info - and your sense of humor . . .
Oh yes, and by the way, "Welcome" to the Captivate User

External MP3 plays back too fast

Hi,
I entered a previous post and said that my External MP3 was
not working with Flash 8.0. I tried a longer sound wave and what it
appears to be that the sound wave is playing back but at a high
speed that is unintelligeble.
Does the MP3 file need to be converted or formated in a
certain way to use as an External MP3. I have imported the exact
same MP3 file and it works with no problem in embedded mode.
thanks,
hugh

Hi
Audio that sound like Chipmunks is cause by inappropriate bit
rate.
it's best to use 16-bit 22 kHz mono sounds (stereo uses twice
as much data as mono), but Flash can
import either 8- or 16-bit sounds at sample rates of 11, 22,
or 44 kHz.

Hello,
Do you mean that when you see the video inside Video Creator, slide 10 appears for a split second and then jumps to slide-11?
Can you record the same scenario in diagnostic mode and send us the logs.
Follow these steps -
1. Close Video creator if it is already opened
2. In Windows > Programs > look for "Troubleshoot Adobe Presenter Video Creator"
3. Launch the same and record the exact same steps
4. Stop recording > Ensure that the issue has been reproduced.
5. Close the application.
6. While closing, it will prompt you to send us an email with collected log reports.
Kindly send the logs. We will go through it and get back to you.
It will also be great if you can send us the presentation in which the issue is reproducible.
Regards,
Mukul

FCP video plays back too fast

After years of flawless service, my FCP7 plays the video too fast, going out of sync immediately. Re-installing did not solve the problem. Help!

Have you installed any new software or upgraded any apps or the OS?
Have you connected any new hardware?
This is ringing a bell. Pretty sure someone posted this problem before. Have you searched the forum?

Clip plays back TOO FAST

I recently imported some HD footage into iMovie 6.0. The import process was smooth, as in I could view it loading at an appropriate pace from both my camera viewfinder and the iMovie screen.
However once the clip is imported, when I click 'Play,' the playback runs the clips at twice the clip's original speed. 2x. Is there a setting I have wrong? The audio is shoddy as well. Why don't iMovie play the clips at a proper speed with proper audio?
Note: The audio and video play just fine on VTR mode on the camera.

Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast

Hi
I have just updated to the lastest version of flashplayer 11.3.300.257. Now, all vidoes in youtube and bbc iplayer etc that use flashplayer run very fast and without sound (just like fast forwarding x4).
I am on Windows Vista Business Edition (all updates included)
Browser is IE9.
I have tried a clean reinstall of flash player a number of times but same issue.
I have cleared caches and deleted all history etc via the advanced section of the software.
I have also removed the hardware acceleration. Nothing has helped.
However, if i run in "safe mode" it seems to run at the correct speed. I have uninstalled all recent software updates (such as skype) but still the issue remains. Is it likely to be a conflict issue?
I have tried to install a previous version of flashplayer from the archives page but get an error message 1722.
Can anyone help?
Nigel

For my reference, here's the bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3217331 - Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast
In order to get traction on this, they're going to need to be able to reproduce it.
It would be great if you could do two things:
- Provide direct links to a couple videos that reproduce this problem.
If they're on different sites, and based in the US, even better. (Geographic restrictions make it hard to troubleshoot. We can VPN, but that can mask/introduce network and timing problems.)
- Provide the output of dxdiag.exe
Go to Start > Run > and type "debugdiag" no qoutes, then hit [Enter]
Save the output and attach it to the bug above.

Dynamics audio effect glitchy. Audio plays back too softly.

PP 7.1.0
Mac OS X 10.8.4
Basic timeline. Three tracks of audio. One of the tracks is playing back VERY quietly. This track has a dynamics effect applied, with only the "limiter" function checked on (at -3db). Audio on this channel plays back too softly. A restart of premiere fixes the problem for a few moments, but then its back to soft again. Playing the clip in the source monitor plays it back at the correct volume. Turning the effect off altogether also plays the audio at the original (louder) volume - albeit minus the limiter. The waveform itself is plenty loud. But when the effect is engaged, the clip suddenly plays back about 15db quieter than it should.
Any ideas?

Zen Xtra 60gb- Plays songs too fast

Hi guys. There are no EAX special environments running at higher speeds or anything, but every song plays too fast. When I look at the counter for each song and put it alongside a stopwatch or other timing device, the songs are playing way too fast.

Nope, longstanding bug as simply having been around for a while. It's a bizarre one though.
I don't have an Xtra so I can't test (hopefully someone else can) but I'll check my Micro.
The key thing here is do you know if the music itself is actually accelerated? Or is it just the timer that's off?

Nano plays podcasts too fast

my nano plays podcasts too fast as if they're speeded up. Is there a sync setting that will fix this?

thanks. that was easy!

My itouch is playing podcasts too fast despite having done a restore to fix the issue, anyone know a solution?

It sounds like the Podcast's playback speed was changed. You can change it by tapping the podcast artwork, locating the speed control that can be found under the right side of the scrubber bar. Then adjust as needed.

Webcam video plays back super fast speed

hi, does anyone know about this: when i record video from my creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro, the play back is like twice the speed of real life. like a video speeded up. it was working fine on my previous computer, which was windos xp, and i upgraded to a newer computer with windows vista 64 bit, and now the video play back is too fast. i also tried viewing the video on other viewers like windows media and VLC, still too fast.

Hi David,
I think we may be able to say more if you can tell us more about the rest of your code. What sort of structures are you using, and where are you dropping your AVI Capture code in? Is the video sped up on your front panel or when you play the resulting file?
You should post the larger piece of code if possible.
