playback speed sounds like a chipmunk #137

Increasing the playing back rate makes the podcast sound like a chipmunk. Is there something different I need to be doing then increasing the rate?

these are speeds I am using

export const DAISY_CAST_PLAYBACK_SPEEDS: number[] = [ 2, 1.75, 1.5, 1.25, 1, 0.75, ];

"react-use-audio-player": "^2.2.0"

Hey @texas697 - I believe that this is due to the technique the underlying lib uses for increasing the speed. As far as I know there is no way to increase speed without affecting pitch. I would suggest possibly moving your question over to that repo. Thanks for the question!
