Ive been using audacity as a recording program, and the voices ive got sound fine in the playback, as well as in WM Player and sound recorder, but when I import them into flash, it sounds like the pitch has been doubled.
Has anyone else come across this, and hence know of a solution?
Hamster voices abound, and this is not a good state of affairs. Its hard to take a commissar seriously when he sounds like hes on helium!
Cheers in advance.

Hmmm I don't really know as I'm a flash newb, exactly why you would be better off asking in the flash forum. Most people here don't even have flash.

It could be something to do with your sample rate frequency.
On the bottom left corner of your audacity window, it'll say 'Project rate' followed by a 4-5 digit number with hz on the end, regularly '44100hz' or '48000hz'. This will be the sample rate for the sound frequency that your voice is recorded in.
I'm not sure about Flash, I haven't used it in years, but I'm guessing that when you import your audio into Flash, the problem could be caused by exporting the file from Audacity in a different sample rate.
When you make an audio file in, say, 44100hz, there is a small chance you could have saved the wav or Audacity file in 48000hz, causing the frequency to increase and then speeding up your audio.
Simply make sure your audio is saved and exported in the sample rate frequency as it is recorded in (so if it's recorded in 44100hz, save/export it in 44100hz), and make sure the frequency rate is compatible with Flash, it may only accept certain frequencies.
Not entirely certain on this, but I think this might be what your problem is.

You, sir, are a fool. That is not at all the problem. Where do you get off giving false advice like that.
By now you probably have realised that I am being sarcastic and have nothing but positive things to say about you.

Seriously though, that was indeed the issue. If youre ever in Glasgow, ill buy you a JD.
Awesomeness.
