I am running F9/x86-64 on my main machine, it doesn't have problems with sound. I am also running a 32-bit LTSP5 thin client, everything is set up according to the Fedora k12linux/ltsp docs. The client machine is a Compaq Deskpro EN with PIII/866 CPU. And everything I tried on the thin client (software running on the 64-bit machine actually, sound is transferred to the client's pulseaudio daemon) is played quicker. Youtube videos keep the video and sound in sync, so the video as a whole is played faster. Some other software that prefers syncing audio to the video speed produce dropouts in the sound. My son especially notices it in ScummVM... Watching time go on the thin client console (Ctrl-Alt-F2) didn't show anything suspicious. One second seems to be really one second and installing ntpdate/ntpd into the thin client didn't change the faster sound.

Drat, I forgot to mention waving a chicken foot at it. (from Caldera
List days) At 4AM that's what you get. Especially when I'm backing up my
system to a pile of 20 gig harddrives. It's amazing the pile of pure
crap that can accumulate that you don't want to part with.
Especially all the emails from this list, youtube videos, space games,
databases, project files, mp3's, pictures, postcards, my Nigerian Bride
collection ("Before I send the money can you send me more pics?"),
Family Tree stuff, Non-Profit stuff, Wonderland Devel files, Java files
out the Yin Yang. God only knows what I'll forget. Yikes! The web
pages!! Ohmigosh, gotta go.:) Ric

But, it is too complex for me right now just to play something with it. nat -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Try lower-level tools like "aplay" to play a test WAV file. $ rpm -qf $(which aplay) alsa-utils-1.0.16-3.fc8 Disable pulseaudio if it is running (the process has the same name), then try again. If everything is still 3-4x faster, boot into the previous kernel version. That way you may be able to find out that something in ALSA in the kernel causes these problems. -- Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) - Linux 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 loadavg: 1.78 1.28 1.19 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Shoot it, to put it out of it's misery, Nat. I also have no idea where to start, if it's -all- playback apps. If it's just one or two that are related, there must be something configured very wrongly in their setup. I know xine and others can fast speed forward through key bindings ...single key presses. Like the right arrow key, it speeds things up in Xine. Have you installed a new keyboard, new mouse or some Croatian version of ASCII? I know of nothing in KDE or Gnome to have that effect, system wide. New scroll mouse? Try turning the scroll down or up to see if it has effect? Slap some keys randomly? (This could get really good!) Call 911 to have an ambulance come and use the "Jaws of Life" on the cabinet to let the demon out? Reverse the speakers so it would run slower? If everything starts running backwards, you're getting closer. Adjust your tin foil, too. If worse comes to worse, get a copy of "What the "BLEEP!" do we know" and, through the power of your "intentionality", either bend the computer to your will by your influence on the electrons on the system buss, or speed yourself up 2X. Then, either way, you will become one with the computer and be in sync so that the audio/video which now runs within the influence of your intentionality. Or, the computer's ...whichever one of you wins out. Maybe the rest of us have already become merged (noticing nothing abnormal) and you're just the last affected by the "intentionality" of Fedora and, most likely, KDE4 or PulseAudio. Or ...maybe you slowed down. I'm adding more tin-foil before it happens to me. More Human than Hu-man.

Same here but only few .wav files are impacted, I noticed this change after a yum update (kerbel + alsa 1.0.16? + reboot), approx. two weeks ago.
