Hey there, my audio is getting skewered when I load some audio into Audacity. It’s been happening since about October 2016 but it hasn’t been as urgent until now. Everything I put in gets skewered regardless of length volume pitch etcetera. Here’s the audio from the time I tried to make some nightcore meme thing when it all started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmA0ay38qN0
I need to edit some music for a fangame and the longer this persists the more missed potential.
Note: I’ve tried installing a newer version and reinstalling that version twice, it didn’t work

The Windows installer has provision to reset settings and preferences. It’s not automatic and if you don’t select it, your possibly damaged settings will carry over to the new install.

I think I understand the problem. If you don’t have FFmpeg installed in Audacity and you load a file Audacity doesn’t understand, it will play the sound with no decompression—very rapidly.
Scroll down to the additional software.
