[CentOS] Realplayer audio/video plays fast & noisy on nVidia HDMI connected to HDTV

Hello,

This's my first ever post to CentOS lists. Sorry if I made any mistakes. My
family is familiar with this RealPlayer Gold 11 and hesitate to use VLC or
others. I googled a lot and tried different settings to no avail. Could you
please tell me what I need to edit in order to slow down the audio/video
playback of this old player? All other apps - even some older than
Realplayer can play audio perfectly. The settings on this app offer none.
The following is my ~/.config/real/realplayerrc
