has anyone found a solution to this problem? the same thing is happening to me with every file type I open using VLC. No other programs are having the same problem. This happened on my old system after I downloaded some updates from Microsoft, except that every program, including system sounds, were played too fast. I reloaded windows because I was having some other problems too, and everything was working fine, but I stupidly put auto-updates on, because I couldn't figure out how to install them manually. The problem came back as soon as the updates kicked in, so I rolled back all the updates back and now everything works except VLC. I tried reinstalling VLC and deleting all preferences when I did it, but no luck.

Have you turned up the playback speed? Does it say x1.00 in the statusbar of VLC?

I had this same problem. Enabling 'HPET' in the power management settings in BIOS fixed it for me... Good Luck
