Have you checked that your soundcard supports 24KHz ? some don't, and you will end up with an approximation. 24Khz is not a `natural' speed, 8kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz is. 16kHz often is, as is 22kHz. Depending on your soundcard, you're probably hearing the sound at 22kHz (a bit slower) or 16kHz (very much slower).
