slow motion video

recently installed unbuntu 7.10 on my HTPC for the new XBMC port. got it up and running and everything works great but the audio/video is like in slow motion, not droping frames just playing slow and the audio is slow as well, like in slowmotion (about 75% speed it seems) thought this was a xbmc issue at first but then I tried it in the built in movie player and got the same issue, then I installed VLC and I get the same issue. I upgraded to the latest nvidia drivers thru envy which didn't help. i'm kinda confused at what might be causing this.

specs:
opteron 144 @ 2.4ghz
1280mb ram
nvidia 6100 based MB (using onboard video but not auido)
audio thru a AV710 soundcard based on via envy chipset
 
beats me. Have you tried using the onboard sound?.... I've had some weird issues before with the whole system lagging down with the addition of a sound card...moved it to another pci slot, ensured the onboard was disabled in bios and viola...worked.

Another long shot is to install the drivers directly from the nvidia site.


Just a shot in the dark.

for some reason I haven't been able to get any sound to work with the onboard sound (win or linux), I thik there is a jumper I'm missing and its going to the front audio headers but I can't find any documentation to show whats happening.

the sound card is actually my guess atm, but hard to test since I don't have any alternative and tbh the video doesn't look all that much slower than normal and only way i knew it was slow is everyone had a deeper voice
 
yup was the sound card. found so pics of the board and figured out how the jumpers went and woot I have onboard sound that works \o/ and no slowmotion video/sound
