Greetings!

I can play music and movies just fine, but the odd thing is this. All speech, be it song in music, be it dialog in films, sounds like an old fashioned tape-recorder on half the speed!!! Sic! I am not kidding! I beg you!

I have tried numerous things, too many to write here, fx changing sound servers and things like that. Nothing changes!

Has anybody heard a phenomenon like this or know some cheat code that fixes this?

In my 5 years of GNU-Linux time, I have never encountered anything like this. It is just too weird! Think about it! I just regressed to my grandfathers days with a taperecorder with a bad spoolengine! It is a funny kind of technological progress which makes you wonder... 'Cause my granddad's taperecorder engine actually worked ;-)

Anyways, I thought I would post it here, in case somebody knew about it, or had encountered something similar. I would very much like to get it working since it is the only thing keeping me from using Knoppix on a regularly basis.

Best wishes!
