Audio pitch is excessively high when increasing playback rate

#1
I hope this is the correct place to post. I'm using MPC-BE along with Shark007 Codecs and I'm not sure where the issue lies. Other than setting file associations and the steps at which playback rate is adjusted in MPC-BE, all settings on both are at the default values.

When I increase the playback rate of a video file in MPC-BE the audio becomes incredibly high pitched, much like if the people talking had inhaled helium. I know what you're thinking - but I'm only increasing to a playback rate of 1.1x or 1.2x, not 2.00x or 3.00x etc where one might expect the audio to sound a lot higher. Is there a setting somewhere I need to switch? I've been watching/listening to things at slightly higher speed using other apps and websites for years now, and this doesn't happen with any of them. So while it's not expected behaviour for me, I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour for MPC-BE et al.

Other observations:

- The audio remains in sync with the video
- It affects all file types I've tried - MP4, Matroska, AVI

Good call.

In the player

Audio renderer - Try with MPC Audio Renderer

That did the trick. Thanks!
