audio recording is fast

[Kenneth Dombrowski <kenneth@ylayali.net>]

Hi,

I began using gramofile a few weeks ago to copy a bunch of cassettes I 
have onto my laptop. Everything was working fine up until 2 days ago, 
when suddenly everything I record from the microphone is speeded up so 
it sounds like a 33rpm record playing at 78-or 100-rpms. I tried using 
audacity instead & the problem persists so I guess it's something a 
little lower-level. Since it last worked I did an upgrade of the system, 
which runs unstable. I've spent over a dozen hours RTFMing & googling 
for a possible explanation, but its difficult not even knowing what I'm 
looking for. Any ideas or hints will be appreciated

Thanks in advance,
Kenneth
