Windows 8 compatibility and sound issues?

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
I've recently bought a windows 8 laptop for college, and lmms downloaded fine. However, for some reason the audio is extremely garbled as if the velocity is turned down on all the instruments. It makes it sound like total crap, and I'm thinking it could possibly be the sound card's fault instead of windows 8. Any ideas?
what sounddevice has you chosen? -SDL is the best choice
THANK YOU so much :D That fixed it! I don't know why it had something else selected, but now I can go about making some music. Thank you again!
