Importing from a recorder through usb

I am trying to do some work with something I recorded from a digital recording. I have connected it to my computer through the usb cable and imported it using every option, but when I try to play it it just goes really fast and sounds like one long static screech. I really need to talk to someone who can talk me through this. I did review the online manual and that just confused me even more. I don’t even know what they are talking about most of the time. How can I talk to a person?
