Why is my computer audio squeaking?

basically for a while now everything, every noise, every type of music, sound whatever from my computer is much higher pitched. Almost like when you fast fowarded a tape or something. What's wrong with it? is it the computer mucked up or the speakers? or...

both?! how can I fix it?
It's really bugging me, artists like kayne west sound like mika, and mika sounds like he is an alien on helium ballons.
help please...

probably both. I had a comp at my old school to to that. I think you can go to your audio settings and slow it down. its worth a shot/

That happened to me on my old laptop. It turned out something was wrong with my hardrive and then it finally stopped working altogether. Take it to a computer shop and get it checked out =]

There are a few things that come to mind that could be causing it - the speaker plug might not be connected in the socket properly; the software drivers might be mucked-up and need to be re-installed; or the sound card itself is on the way out and needs to be replaced. Check the plug first, see if that makes any difference...

it was probably turned up too loud and probably blew the speaker , or something's wrong with your computer
