Well, I think I found a solution, although not my preferred solution. Just

(Why not? I sense that, like me, you don't want the "enhancements" it
offers [I presume those are things like Hall, Rock, Classical type
"effects".] But presumably these can be disabled [e. g. by selecting
"flat" or "none" or similar].)

on a hunch, I installed the Dell SRS Premium Sound driver to see if that
might "help" in some weird arcane way. It apparently acts as a go-between
between the IDT driver and sounds, and sure enough, it "resolves" the pitch
problem on these 22 K files (wav or mp3), so long as it's activated. My

You hadn't mentioned before that it was doing it for any 22050 file, not
just .wav ones; but then it hadn't occurred to us to ask!

preferred solution would be to simply use another audio driver altogether,
like Realtek, but if I read what you wrote here right, that could be
problematic, and it's not listed on the Dell site as being compatible for my
particular Dell model. So maybe I best let sleeping dogs lay with this work
around. One thing I did do is minimize the audio effects in SRS so I'm just
using it as a buffer, without too many "enhancements".

I guess since you've got a solution ... "life's too short" is a
sentiment I find myself using more as I get older!
