What format is your source audio?

In addition to what source format: What operating system, what audio hardware settings and what player? You know, could well be that the files are okay, just for some reason your player software is not cooperating with your audio hardware. It's unlikely, but not impossible.

Source format: WAV.
Players tested: VLC, Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player
Sigmatel audio on a notebook, not sure which settings you mean.
I uploaded a zipped copy of the .avi that results from "Save RAM Preview." Here:

Do you by any chance use the Shift+RAM preview options? It defaults to skipping every second frame, which will still yield the correct result for previewing, but mess up the audio when saving. If it's unintentional, this may simply be an issue with how the notebook interprets keyboard commands. So check your Time Controls palette and possibly your keyboard layout.

Mylenium,
I'm hitting 0 on my number pad to generate the RAM preview and play it, then I do Save RAM Preview.

Mmh, still strange. The files definitely play at half the FPS. Re-importing them into and time-stretching to 50% makes everythings work perfectly...

Cool, I tried that as well and it worked.
Then I remembered that I had had to stretch things out originally because when I imported them they played at double speed. So I bumped my preview playback from 29.97fps to 15fps and un-stretched them. Then I created the preview and the preview played right, and also the RAM save copy played right. So that was it. I just had to change my preview speed and render speed to 15fps, which is apparently the speed of the video from my input device.
Thanks a million!
