Sound warping like an old cassette tape



Sounds on my computer have recently started warping and blurring like an old,
stretched cassette tape - particularly WAV files such as music.

Sometimes the sound card gives up completely and I have to re-start windows
to get sounds playing again...

Any ideas?
