Microphone slowdown?
Whenever I speak into my microphone, my voice is slowed down when it is played back from the computer. I tried different applications and found out that the problem appears in all of them. I also have the latest sound card drivers and tried it with another microphone. What is causing this?
Microphone: Quickshot QS-5838
OS: Win2k
Processor: Pentium 3
Sound device: VIA AC'97 Audio (WAVE)

If it is not a driver problem, then it could be that you have some sort of Effect turned on...
Most sound cards now days come with software allowing you to play about with the sounds, if you have some sort of effect turned on that is making it sound like that then you want to turn that off!
Look for your sound cards software... I.E SoundMax or something like that...

I tried the Realtek and C-Media drivers, but it is still extremely slow.
Pjcrooks2000: I shall try disabling the hardware acceleration. Thanks for the tip.

Your welcome elementalindigo :)
If problems still exist, goto your Windows Sound Recorder -> Edit -> Audio Properties...
What is the Default device that is listed?
Also goto File -> Properties and in the Format Conversion drop down menu, and choose Recording formats... press the Convert Now button and choose CD quality. Try recording something and see if that helps with the slow down. If not, try the other two options as well.

elementalindigo , any luck on that matter?
Just a thought, have you got a recent version of Direct x ?
Maybe you should try to upgrade it, it has been known for it to cause problems on sound cards. I doubt it but more recent versions "may" resolve your problem too.

Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you.
Good stuff elementalindigo, but that only stops the problem does not resolve the issue. If your happy with that then Great! :)
Thanks for accepting and good luck for the future......
