Hello,
That is quite strange. Flash doesn’t manipulate sound files in any way to alter their original tempo (speed). Try re-exporting the sound settings at a higher rate than you may have specified. That should help, or try reducing the Frames Per Second. If you set your sound clip to stream, it may have a hard time keeping up with it.
I hope that helped. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reply back.
