I am importing .WAV files that contain speech into Flash 8 Professional on a
Mac. The original sound files are 5kHz Mono 16 Bit. They sound fine when
played in Quicktime, but once I bring them into Flash they get a high tinny
sound to them, sometimes a pop as well.

The reverberating tinny sound is already slightly audible when I stream the
sounds on the timeline. When I Publish the movie it gets worse, not horribly,
but worse. I have tried every possible output combination for the SWF, as well
as turning "Override Sound Settings" off altogether. There is only a slight
difference between the sound output and in every combination the tinny-ness is
still there. I have decided that Raw 11kHz is the least offensive of the
combinations. This is an offline presentation, so file size is not an issue.

I have also tried bringing the sounds into Peak and Normalizing them,
exporting them as AIFs, importing that into Flash, changing the AIF to an MP3
and importing that into Flash, and also a .WAV file. None of those methods
worked, in fact it made it worse in most cases. Again I have come back to the
fact that the files sound fine to the client, so I am trying to find a setting,
or a quirk about Flash that will make them sound as they do in Quicktime prior
to import.

My client is adamant about clearing the problem.... Do you have any
suggestions? Thank you!
