    Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks.  But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.

     

    First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already

    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.
