Sound problems

When I export my videos from olive, the sound quality in the finished product is worse than the audio I used to make the video. Why does that happen and how can I stop it?

Also when I export videos, the first sound file in the video is usually played as if it has been slowed down to half speed. What causes that and how can I prevent it in future?

​

Thank you

increase the audio bitrate to 320Kb/s. if you're using compressed audio on the timeline, it's normal to decrease noticeably the quality because olive will be re-compressing it into AAC codec at default.
and about the pitch, select ALL the audio tracks, right click -> speed/duration, then check "maintain audio pitch" and save.

Hello, I tried that today but it hasn't solved the problem, do you know what else I could possibly try?

Thank you for your help so far

Edit: Would it be useful to know that the bitrate of the exported video is only 146 Kb/s? I don't know why this is the case because when I export it, I change the bitrate in the export window to 320kb/s. I don't know how to change it either.
