Is it playing at normal pitch or much higher than normal pitch? If it is at normal pitch, then the problem is due to 'skipping' (bits of audio missing, so that the remaining audio is shorter). The first thing to try in this case is a reboot. If that doesn't help, there's a big list of things here: h...

The gain control is a knob on the front of the device. For more information, refer to the Presonus manual http://www.presonus.com/products/AudioBox-USB/downloads

you can make a user open a Audacity-Project on a Network Share with 3 simple clicks That's not the same as loading a dll.

There are two parts to a project: A "project file" that has an "AUP" file extension, and a "folder" that contains lots of little audio clips. It sounds like you are trying to open the folder rather than the file. Both the file and the folder are essential parts of the p...

I wonder if you are fixing the actual problem. Why do your clips all have a click at the end? (it's not 'normal' for clips to click at the end). Do they perhaps suffer from DC offset? (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/dc_offset.html)
