Hi, Over several years, different releases, Fedora and CentOS, two independent computers, every now and then some glitch happens and suddenly: audio/video files start playing slowly the audio pitch drops accordingly I've never been able to find the trigger, but it can happen when you go through the pulseaudio settings (e.g. you open the thing so you can adjust the sound level of one thing - such as the file playing in a web browser, separately from the system ding alert sounds). Or, some application causing the system to ding out loud, starts this fault occurring. Doing a killall pulseaudio doesn't reliably resolve it (rarely it does). Likewise, with the app playing the sound (VLC, audacity, firefox). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.36.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 21 11:57:15 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
