ALL SONGS PLAY TOO FAST

gamma_rae — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:17:09 GMT

All of my songs in my playlists and radio stations play too fast, as if I am fast forwarding them. Sounds like its skipping but its just playing super fast, the count is going faster than real time. Help! It sucks buttholes!

It seems like it could be a playback setting issue. I have tried restarting Spotify and restarting my computer. Nothing has worked so far.

Has ANYONE else had this problem?

Same this is happening to me. Like it's playing a 4x speed.

Hmm, very odd!

Couple of things you might want to try here -

* Head over to the Preferences menu and unchecking the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" option
* Trying a clean installation of Spotify on your computer.

Thanks David, unchecking "Enable Hardware Acceleration" seemed to do it.

Although if I switch it back on the music still plays fine. So it could all be coincidence. Dunno.

I can't find "Enable Hardware Acceleration" on my MacBook Pro spotify installation.

Can someone please help me out? I have a macbook pro and I'm experiencing the same problem. Can't find the hardware acceleration part in preferences 😞

Hardware Acceleration is a Windows only option, so your version will not have it. However, try turning off the following settings -

* Gapless Playback
* Crossfade Tracks
* Set the same volume for all tracks.

My spotify is experiencing the same problem..

It plays to fast, not much but a little, enough to make each sound a pitch higher, than normal.. This is only consistig with the use of spotify, everyother sound format and player, replays the song at the correct speed. Only spotify fails.

I have disabled the hardware acceleration, as well as reinstalled spotify. Only to find that the problem have persisted..

It's driving me crazy.

Are you playing local files or streaming from Spotify?

Sheesh... they're only trying to give you more music!

The issue persist regardless of location of data.. I.e. the streamed songs are slower than normal, as well are the local stored files, which include downloaded songs for offline use..

I'm pretty sure I just experienced the same problem, or I need less coffee. Samual L. Jackson sounded like a 15-year old boy in Black Snake Moan unlike yesterday when I watched the movie. Not cool. After listening to several tracks that all sounded too "bright" I decided to restart Spotify. Suddenly it didn't sound like he was clutching his private parts and the song was good again.

I had the same problem. Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 64bit. First I cleared the cache(/home/USER/.cache/spotify/storage), then I reinstalled. Still no improvement.

Then, after looking at my system sound settings, the system had no set output source. This is a known bug with Ubuntu that happens sometimes when you plug in or remove headphones. Try opening system settings and clicking your speakers in the list of outputs. Fixed it up fine for me.

Same problem. The songs are playing too fast but this is on my iPhone 6+ S. Any advice? I've tried turning off and on different sound settings but to no resolve.
