Hi,

It could be that your sound card is grabbing an incorrect sample rate,
I've run into this with a few different sound cards.

Try adding the rate line into your /etc/asound.conf file, similar to:

pcm.rd0 {
  type hw
  card 0
  rate 44100
}
ctl.rd0 {
  type hw
  card 0
  rate 44100
}

and then restart the rivendell daemons (or reboot).

Another option is to try it with Jack and see if that works for you.
