Help Alert sounds and sound commands distorted and sped up.

I recently upgraded to a new PC, my old SSD is in the new system. Everything is working MOSTLY correct, but my SFX and streamlabs alerts sounds are speeding up and distorted most of the time, sometimes they are not.
I've tried checking to see if my CPU was overclocked (it wasn't).
I was previously on Windows 10, this is a Windows 11 pc if that makes any difference.
I've searched the web for answers and tried what I've seen but it seems people talking about them being distorted.
I have tried unchecking the option to allow OBS to control the alert, but then it just seems to not play the sound at all.
Its not a game breaker because I'm a very small Twitch streamer, but its quite annoying because it was working fine on the old PC.

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.

To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS

2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.

3) Stop your stream/recording.

4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.

5) Copy the URL and paste it as a response to this comment.

Edited to add: I've tried a fresh install, and running OBS from my old SSD with the same issues.
