Hi guys, hope you can help.

Just installed Ubuntu Studio on (quite an old) Compaq tower. strange thing id, it plays MP3 files a semitone higher in pitch than they should be, this is a particular issue as I'm using the computer in a music teaching environment. never had anything like this happen before,, used ubuntu and ubuntu studio on other systems with no hassle, I've not the faintest idea how to fix this problem.

 

Thanks

I would do the following:

 

- Ask this same question on the ubuntu forums.

- See if you can find out the name of your sound card (or if integrated, your motherboard), and the drivers - and google specifically for those.

- Upgrade your sound drivers.

 

And finally if all fails, what solved it for me many years ago (one of the first Ubuntu Studio versions to come out - never got that to work properly):

- Install the normal Ubuntu, and get your favorite programs separately.

Thanks for the reply, I had tried Ubuntu forums initially, but got no where.

I got the problem fixed in the end with a bit of tinkering.
