Sound is higher pitch than normal (after initial boot sequence)

Eeeekkk

Forum Noob
I am completely baffled. I used to play this thing a bunch, but it's been sitting unplayed for quite some time now. I plugged it back in yesterday and noticed after the initial Sony boot up sequence, after picking a game (doesn't matter if it's a game from the 20 already on the system, or from my flash drive), the next part of the Playstation boot up sequence and the game sounds are all a higher pitch than normal. I somehow fixed this last night by just constantly turning off the system and turning it back on; but tonight, I have had no luck in doing that. I've tried multiple different USB ports for the power, multiple different HDMI cables that all work perfectly fine with everything else I've tried them with. I've tried starting up games with my flash drive completely removed so it's just the standard PS Classic itself. None of these things have offered a solution.

A little more information and tests I've tried -
The current setup is the HDMI cord is going from my PS Classic into an HDMI switch, which then goes into my El Gato HD60 Pro.
I thought maybe it was the HDMI switch, so I hooked the PS Classic up directly to the capture card, same problem, HDMI Switch eliminated as the problem.
So the problem must be the capture card, right? I turned on my Nintendo switch, which is hooked up through the HDMI switch to the capture card, worked fine. Same results with both PS4/PS5.
I've tried hooking the PS Classic up directly to my tv (sound coming through my receiver) and it worked perfectly fine. How is this possible? Everything else works perfectly fine via the setup the PS classic has.

I've googled just about every variation of the sentence "PS Classic sound higher pitch" that I can think of with no luck lol. Has anyone at all experienced this? Or have any ideas on maybe what's causing it?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Okay nevermind... after hours and hours and troubleshooting, I opened OBS settings while explaining the issue to my brother and started clicking around. I realized the FPS was set to 60 and not "match output FPS", so it was forcing these old PS1 games to run at 60 FPS causing the speed up. That's why switch/PS4/PS5 all worked fine. I feel so dumb lol.
