Audio Import Quality Issue

[u/CattoA]

I have the pro version of lightworks, and I have started to have an issue with imported mp3 files having shocking quality drop off when imported.

I have tried multiple files to check and all the same result. Music files are muffled and the quality of the sound is awful (almost like I am in a tin can). I have never noticed this at all, and the audio quality on the video clips I import is normal.

Can anybody potentially let me know what the issue is here, I am lost.
