Double Speed Sound/Video on Ubuntu 11.10, Win XP Guest

everything is working wonderfully with my windows xp guest virtual machine on ubuntu 11.10 except for sound and video.  unfortunately, that's the one thing that i really need for my application.  it is playing at double speed.  every second i see the video seconds jump 2 and the sound is like alvin and the chipmunks.

 

i've searched around and tried a number of things.  can't seem to get it working.  i feel like it must be something minor.  i'm so close.  any ideas?  thanks!

 

here's my vmx file.

Re: Double Speed Sound/Video on Ubuntu 11.10, Win XP Guest

Hi,

 

I had a similar problem in Debian 6 (from which Ubuntu is based) and a Windows 7 Guest. Double-speed audio and also a helicopter sound while any audio was playing. I tried fixes in the other referenced threads with no success.

 

Then I was looking in my VMX file and saw the following:

 

sound.virtualDev = "hdaudio"
sound.fileName = "-1"

 

I decided to remove them, leaving only the most basic sound arameters. This worked for me. Audio is fine now.

 

I don't see the same values in your VMX file, but maybe try removing the sound.fileName value and see if that has any effect.

 

Good luck!
