Hello nanas_love,

 

There are two common fixes on the net reported to solve this phenomenon.

 

1. Reinstall the sound card or drivers. Sometimes drivers can get become corrupted.

How to reinstall the sound card from Device manager.

 

Also, If you post what your computer model is, I can point you to driver updates if they are available.

 

2. Your audio software has become skewed and is in karaoke mode. (If this is changed, it will change the pitch of the audio and sound like chipmunks).

Check you softare for karaoke mode.

 

Give it a try and let me know if I can help further.
