It's not the same thing, but I did have an odd audio issue with Audacity a few years ago on my old iMac (with OS 10.2!). I had set something in the Audacity preferences that meant that all the audio that came into the iMac was somehow mixed to the output (via the built-in speakers) at all times. From then on everything that I recorded on the iMac - even on other packages - sounded like I was recording in a bathroom!
I know what happened - somehow Audacity output the direct input sound together with a delayed "digitised" sound at the same time - but I did not know HOW it happened - or how to reverse it. It remained a problem until the day the iMac died! I just think that Audacity is a bit dangerous on Macs!
