Hey all,

I recently switched to using a MacBookPro (snowleopard) when developing, after several years of PC use. Now, quite often when publishing my swf:s, embedded sounds get all distorted and filled with loud crackling sounds when running the swf (yes, even on different computers). I tried different compressions, bitrates and qualities with the same result. Something is clearly wrong with how my machine compresses sound…

When publishing the same .fla from a PC the sounds turn out fine.

Anyone else experienced anything like this? Any hints or clues on what to test or do?
