hi,
I had the same problem too. Most of the time I just delt with it, because I,
like you, couldn't think of anything else to do.
Right now I'm using a USB soundcard because the headphone jack on this thing
is broken, so I don't have that lowering pitch problem anymore. That would
be my first recommendation. even a cheep USB soundcard sounds decent for
playback anyway if you have EQ controls at your disposal. For recording i'd
be a little more careful about. But that's a whole new topic.
If USB soundcards are not an option, then something that worked for me about
4 out of 10 times was playing a stream at 44K or 48K through the soundcard,
whether it be a file, or an audio cable or whatever. Sometimes it would fix
it, sometimes it wouldn't. I noticed that it was harder to fix the pitch
issue if the thing was shut down unexpectedly, like a blue sscreen or a cold
shutdown of any kind. If restarted properly, it was sometimes easier to fix,
sometimes impossible still. But, all of this took place with a soundcard
that started this behavior right from the time I got the machine, so it
never did work a hundred percent. As I say, a cheap uSB soundcard should be
able to avoid those issues and is a much easier workaround than trying to
fix what may have been overlooked in the design of the internal soundcard.

Subject: QWS List audio and midi playback are lower in pitch, how to correct
this?
hi listers, A friend has a problem using midi in general. He tells me
he uses band in a box and makes his tracks then exports to midi but
whenever he plays the midi and in general plays music through any of
his players the pitch is lower than it should be. In other words,
everything sounds about a quarter tone lower than it is supposed to
be. I remember having this occurrence after running some games ETC and
then I remember resetting the soundcard to its default settings
through a program that came with it, however I find it hard to explain
how todo an in dept reset of the soundcard when no program exists in
his machine for that kind of thing. Does anyone have suggestions ETC.
in regards to this?
