Sorry to get back so late.  I have tried your suggestions and still get 
the same problem.  The sound files are created and the quality is good.  
The only problem is that the recordings are not correct.  A recording of 
"testing 1, 2, 3" will play back as "3.....2"  and maybe it will put in 
at the very end "testing 1".  Strange I know.  I have reported it to 
Scott and he stated that the problem is a bug in QuickTime 5.  It may 
only be on the mac.  I am waiting for QT 6 to show up here in July and 
we will see.
