I just installed latest Ubuntu and it sounds like mp3's play slightly

I doubt it is a setting thing.
I can think of a few causes, which you should be able to distinguish by
listening:
- Wrong sample rate in hardware. If your hardware plays at 48Khz and the
mp3's are ripped from a 44.1Khz CD, they will be faster. If you
compare the audio between the two, it would be slightly higher in pitch
in addition to faster.
- Not all frames are being played/frames being dropped. Several
sub-cases:
- Audio is not playing all blocks/chunks/frames. You would probably
hear pops since each drop will result in a discontinuity.
- Mp3 frames being dropped. You probably won't hear pops, but the
pitch would be right, it would just sound "rushed".
What player?
