Can someone help me with an audio problem?
So here’s the situation, I’ve had this Windows 2000 professional PC and for the first few days it worked fine but one day my sister used it and it got messed up so I don’t know what might’ve triggered the problem. The problem is that it makes the audio high pitched, it speeds it up a little to make it sound high pitched, any idea as to what I can do to fix this? It’s not the speakers either. Thanks to all in advance for helping or trying to help!

I’d try removing the driver for the audio device, rebooting and then reinstalling the audio driver.
Maybe sound preferences, under the volume thing.
If the sound is inboard rather than a PCI device, buy a cheap PCI soundcard and disable the onboard sound. This will be the most effective and painfree solution without having to backup and reinstall the operating system :-)
Since I’m Mac-OS centric, I’m not sure how to check or reset this, but it sounds like your audio driver is playing back at a higher sample rate; you need to reset the driver or re-install it, or if there’s a sound control panel and you can see the sample rate setting, toggle it between the various sample rates and see if that changes anything. Also re-install any audio software you’re using (i.e. iTunes?).
In Windows Media player, under “Now Playing/Enhancements/Play Speed Settings, there is a slider control that lets you slow down or speed up the playback speed on audio files. Try opening that and setting it back to 1.0. If it’s already there – maybe an exorcist?
Try turning down hardware acceleration.
Run>dxdiag>sound tab>Move the Hardware Acceleration down a few notches
Also try reinstallting the sound drivers by right clicking it in device manager(run>devmgmt.msc)>uninstall>then select scan for new hardware button or reboot
