Windows 10: Windows 11: Slow speed audio playback

I recently was forced to update from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have local mp3s on my laptop. I noticed that the playback is slow and not the correct speed. This problem exists regardless of the player. I use VLC player, but the problem is also in Windows Media Player. By the way on Windows Media Player I checked the elipsis ... speed and it is at x1 so that is not the problem. Also it looks like there are pops and other distortion sounds there.It looks like if I play a youtube video in chrome there is no problem.

How to change playback speed in Windows 10 (TEN!!!)

Hi Tess,

We appreciate your time for posting your concern here in the Microsoft Community.

Please follow the below steps to change the playback speed settings:

You can change the speed at which files play in the Player. For example, you can slow down the playback speed if you're taking notes while watching a training video, or you can speed up the slow sections of a presentation.

• Play a file, and then switch to Now Playing mode.

If you’re in the Player Library, click the Switch to Now Playing button in the lower-right corner of the Player.

• Right-click an open space in the Player (such as to the left of the
  Stop button) , point to Enhancements, and then click
  Play speed settings.
• Move the Play Speed slider to the speed at which you want to play the file, or click the
  Slow, Normal, or Fast links.

To select speeds between the labeled play speeds, in the Play speed settings dialog box, clear the
Snap slider to common speeds check box.

3. To hide the settings, click the Close button in the
Play speed settings dialog box.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

 

Resetting speed of audio and video playback

Am experiencing difficulty in setting the speed of audio and video playback on my Windows 10 desktop. Right now voices sound as though the speaker had just inhaled helium and videos also play at accelerated speed.

Among the things I've tried to fix this:

- Resetting Windows Media Player to default settings -- didn't work

- Lowering the speed on Youtube from 1x to 0.75 x -- didn't work

- Downloading different browsers -- didn't work

What's left? Download free media player software? Any suggestions?

Thank you.
