# Audio playing at a lower pitch than original file with clicking noise

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-31)

I've imported an audio file into Lightworks. The same problems happen whether the input file is in MP3 or WAV format. Both original media files play correctly in `mplayer`.

The audio in the file plays slightly lower than it should. The first tone in the tune is E5; in LightWorks the tone emitted is between D5 and D#5. This is a frequency ratio of between 1:1.0595 and 1:1.225. The audio also runs slightly longer, but only by about a second for the entire 6m10s file. This is a significantly smaller ratio of 1:1.0027.

While the audio is playing, there are frequent and regular mid-pitched clicking sounds audible, at a rate of roughly 10-20 per second. They are louder when the audio is louder. These clicking sounds are also audible during playback of video files which have associated audio track; again, the sounds are not audible during playback of the same file under `mplayer`.

I'm running LightWorks on a non-Retina MacBook Pro (2012).
