Previous poster's idea concerning CPU speed sounds like it has much merit. That would be about all that it could be?? Is this a notebook? For the life of me I cannot think of anything that would do this across the board of all the various "players" of sound or video. I could see something mis-configured in Xine causing the problem, but mplayer wouldn't duplicate that with a different playback scheme of keyboard bindings and setup files. If the OP has more than one kernel installed, maybe try using the older one? In my years, I've never heard of this one. And, is this just happening to a few homebrew audio/video files or all audio/video files? Like it you went to youtube, are their files playing at a higher than normal speed? There's gotta be something somewhere to use to narrow down the problem. You would hope, that is. :) Ric -- ---------------------------------------------------- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
