Not much to look at, but sounds great.
Outside of that, I'm stumped.

I'm having the same problem, but it isn't just with media, it's with EVERYTHING. When Windows loads, the sounds that it plays comes out 2x faster than normal, along with system sounds. Normal beeps and clicks come out 2x faster and scratchy.

To further diagnose it, I have installed another version of Vista on the same hard drive, different partition and all the sounds were just fine, everything was back to normal. I have looked and looked and still have not found an answer as to why my Vista on partition 1 won't play sounds correctly.

It's REALLY blowing my mind. ANY help or feed back is appreciated.
