It sounds like you were on the right track with the sample bitrate (22.05khz). What you are describing is exactly what happens to me in studio sometimes with the sample rate conversion misaligned. Have you tried including a third script option for Macromix if QT and direct sound don't work? You should also check whether YOUR default sound device in your Director prefs is Macromix or Direct sound, as Director sets the device on your system to a default and authors using that default.
