Okay, so the latest weirdness is that all sound is sped up and keyed up. Just a little below Alvin and the Chipmonks. I changed the sample rate from 48,000 to 41,000 in windows sound then rebooted and issue was temporarily resolved. Today it's back. Sheesh. Anybody new to music - save yourself and get a Mac. There is no reason other than windows screwiness that this should be happening. I'm too frustrated and going to just go watch Perry Mason. I'll be back. crazy
