It is not really a question about the speed at which the audio plays. It is the polling rate. It will play at the normal speed. But Director is not aware of the elapsedTime all the time. It only looks on the exitFrame event where it is called. There will be more than 1ms between exitFrames, so it may not be looking when the audio is at exactly 2000.

To illustrate what I'm on about, put this code and watch the message window:

 on exitFrame me
   if sound(1).elapsedTime < (2000) then
     go (the frame)
     put sound(1).elapsedTime
  end if
 end


You might expect the results to look like this:

-- 1
-- 2
-- 3
-- 4

etc...

But it is not reading in each one.. It depends on the frame rate of the Director movie and how complex the current frame is (animation, etc)
