Media Player playing music too fast

Just downloaded Haiku (Great work!), and when I try to play MP3’s with the Media Player, they’re playing almost (if not) 2 times too fast. Is there a setting to get that to slow down a bit? I’ve installed this on an old Dell 4300s Desktop PC.

Can’t believe how well it works on it!!!

TIA

Len

try restarting the media server.

Click the leaf
select prefrences
select media

On the top left corner you’ll see

 audio Settings 

click that and you’ll be greated with a panel.

In the lower right hand corner you'll see restart media services button. 

On occasion it’ll biff on a install for some reason.

What audio card do you have ?

Hi Thatguy. Thank you very much for responding. I’ve tried your suggestion, and now I have no sound at all. Also, the media player as it’s playing a song (w/o sound) still is running fast.

Here’s what I found through the Media Configuration Panel…

Basic Info
82801BA/BAM AC’97 Audio Controller

PCI Info
Device Type: 0x4
Device Subtype: 0x1
Device Interface: 0x0
Device Vendor: 0x8086
Device id: 0x2445

Detailed
Class Info: MultiMedia Controller
Device Name: 82801BA/BAM AC’97 Audio Controller
Device Path: Not Implemented
Device bus: PCI
Device flags: 1
Device ID: 0x2445
Device Interface: 0x0
Device Subtype: 0x1
Device Type: 0x4
Device Vendor: 0x8086
Device Used: Not Implemented
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
PCI/bus: 0
PCI Device: 31
PCI Domain: 0
PCI function: 5

Now, according to Dell, this is what is in the system…
Audio controller
Analog Devices AD1885 AC97 Codec

I hope that’s enough to go on.

Thanks again!!!

You need to remove the native audio drivers from 

boot/system/kernel/drivers

there will be a bunch of audio drivers.

In terminal “under applications”

type

Installoptionalpackage -a opensound.

that is the alternate driver framework for haiku. It should “in thoery” fix you ac97 code issues. To me it sounds like the DAC clock is not syning correctly due to a intialization problem, then go select the new driver in the media prefrences panel, hit the restart media services button

hopefully

Profit !
