See if uninstalling and reinstalling the sound adapter's software helps.
If no luck, then check IBM's site for updated audio drivers.
If no good, then see if uninstalling and reinstalling(or upgrading) the media player(Ex.: Windows Media Player) that's having the sound problem helps.
If not, then uninstall all media players except the one you normally use.

I too have the same issue. "Chipmunks in the machine". I had to wipe a system clean recently. Did a format and then installed Win2k.
The Systems is a Dell that came with a drivers disk. It basically reads the system and shows me what I have as far as hardware and then provides the driver pkgs for each device. I only noticed a difference in the speed of the sound AFTER I installed the chipset drivers.
Here is the sequence of install:
Audio - Analog Devices AD1885 integrated audio
Controller Ultra ATA
Network CNET Pro200WL Ethernet Adapter
System 800 Series integrated chipset
(This is when I noticed the change in speed)
Video ATI 128 Ultra 16MB
After each of the install of the items mentioned above the system requested a reboot so I let it. After the install of the Audio, the "Starting Windows .wav" file sounded normal as did every reboot up until directly after the installation of the chipset.
I had yet to do ANY media player installation.
Any Ideas?
Crazy I tell ya, Just plain crazy.

If its the chipset, uninstall it and use an older version if you can find one. Ive heard symptons of this before what they did was use a codec fix and then remove and reinstall the media players as well as the sound drivers.
