MP3 imported, but being played in high speed?!

Question

Hello community,
Having Captivate 2, I'm wondering why this happens... It
worked in Captivate 1 perfectly.
I record and modify the audio recordings externally from
Captivate using Adobe Audition (1.5 or 2; depending on the machine
I'm working on).
In Captivate 1, to have a low file size of the SWF file, I
imported MP3 files in 48 kbps, 41,100 KHz, 16 Bit Mono quality.
Using Captivate 2 in editing mode, when I import MP3 files,
everything seems fine. I hear everything OK. But once I publish the
project the audio is being played in high speed!!
Now, I tried importing plain WAV files, sure. But there is
another problem.
I can easily modify the audio quality from within Captivate
2, and this is great! I publish the project's audio in the above
48kbps quality. However, the end result is a kind of blurry audio.
Just poor quality. It seems the narrator is speaking half into
water.
Now, once I publish the project in an audio quality of 96
kbps the blurry effect is gone. But the file size increased
dramatically, which is not good.
Anyone aware of a solution? :-)
Thanks!
Stefan

Ditto...
But my issue is that they sound great in preview but slow way
down on playback. I suspect that in the import/converting process,
the bit rate or sample rate is getting corrupted.
I do not use the record function of Captivate, using Audacity
and a Lexicon Alpha sound card. I can set any number of options
during recording and have the ability to export in a number of
formats (WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP2).
Does anyone have a 'best practices' suggestion for the
recording settings that would prevent any need for
import/converting and therefore reduce the possibility of
corruption?
