Can't Record!

[sirwin]

Just installed Cakewalk 9.0. Having problems recording audio. I can record sounds but the sounds are terrible. It sounds like I'm running it through a pitch shifter. Have tweaked windows sound mixer to no avail.

Systems specs;
AMD 800
128 Ram
7200 HD.

the midi seems to work fine and it will record the onboard synth but am baffled by inputing audio. Using crummy mini- stereo jacks doesn't help but any help would be appreciated.

What soundcard do you have and how/what are you recording?

I have the VIA PCI Audio controller from VIA tech. recording an old beat up gibson les paul ....no mixers...... straight into to VIA card through the mic input and also tried the line input as well. Using cakewalk but it also does it with windows sound recorder.
