[Solved] Audio too fast?

I've got Arch running in a VM in vmware fusion on a mac.  Everything is great, but the audio... i think.   When I try to play an MP3, its like rythmbox is on fast-forward.  The same thing happens on youtube.  I'm assuming its an audio problem, but I may be wrong.  Has anyone come across this before?

Re: [Solved] Audio too fast?

Fast forward audio is likely the case of having a lower samplerate input than the output frequency. This shouldn't normally happen, but it may happen if ALSA doesn't properly resamples the audio before it goes out of the soundcard. Can you try different sound files with different sample rate in them and see if there's a speed difference in them?

I've tried different mp3's and different video files.  It even does it when I play music through last.fm.

Maybe try OSS v4.1

Hmm... I'd like to stick with ALSA, but I'll try OSS when I get home from work.

That did it.  OSS is working fine.  I wonder what VMWare fusion is doing that messed up ALSA.

Thanks!
