Audio playback speed is wrong

Hi, I've not been visiting here lately due to being busy, but I've just built a new PC and have a strange problem.
I went for an AMD A8 6500 CPU on a Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H motherboard with 8GB RAM. I transferred my old M-Audio Delta 66 from the old PC. I'm using the on-board graphics as I don't need anything fancy. I don't generally play games. I installed Kubuntu 14.04 and added the Kxstudio repos.
I think it was mostly okay to start with, but one day I noticed that the sound in a Youtube video was out of tune with my guitar, i.e. playing too slow. This seemed to affect both Flash and html5 in Firefox and Chrome. I think it is also affecting purely audio playback in other apps.
I wonder if this could be 44100/48000 sample rate issue. I have the audio card master clock set to 44100 in Envy24. Where else should I be looking?
I did a quick bit of recording recently in Ardour and it was okay then, but I was having an issue with the recorded sound being distorted. Levels looked okay. I had all this working on the old PC, but I've probably forgotten to set something up.
Cheers
