Why does sound recorder record speeded up?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I connected my keyboard (also tried my electric guitar) into my mackie 1202
mixer in line 1 and plugged the xlr analog in cables of my LynxOne soundcard
into the main outs of my mixer. I connected the line out of my onboard sound
card (which has my monsoon mm702 speakers connected to the line in) to the
headphones of my mixer - so I can hear what's recording.
However, when I record with windows "sound recorder" it plays back the wave
file speeded up. If I go into the "effects" tab in my sound recorder and
click on decrease speed it now plays the file at normal speed. Why doesn't
it record at normal speed. By default it records at a speeded up rate; sort
of like playing a 33rpm record at 78rpm.
Thanks for any help,
Mark

I just started out doing this today. I've never done this before. So I was
testing to see if I had everything plugged in correctly and used the sound
recorder to quickly do some testing. Eventually I was going to install an
audio software like cubase, sonar, samplitude, etc.

By default I think the properties for the sound recorder are:
Cd quality
Format: pcm
Attributes:44,100Hz,16Bit,Stereo 172KB/s

Sounds like dueling sample rates
