I tried both versions of Reaper that I have: one installed v4.78 and one portable v5.01. Both had the same problem of completely distorted sounds.
What can I possibly have done wrong?
Hope you can advise me what to do.
Thank you!
Are you using the Max Volume or Adjustment setting?

I tend to find that using the Max Volume can cause some nasty distortion, whereas the Adjustment is much smoother.
