Why does audio sound “slow” (like a tape at half speed) even though my connection is good and my processor speed is fine?
The problem may be your sound card. Some Audioactive streams are transmitted at a 24 kHz sampling rate which some older sound cards can’t handle. The card then chooses the next closest sampling rate, 22.05 kHz (half of the CDs 44.1 rate, the most common). The result is clear but slow audio. The problem exists in only a very few older and low-cost cards.
