I don't know if you are still getting this problem or not.. recently I faced this issue and the solution was so simple for me. First, check the frame rate from the composition settings and then check the frame rate from the Preview panel..  My composition frame rate was 30fps and in the preview panel it was 24fps that's why the audio sounded weird.

This sounds like a Preview Settings issue. The first Screen Capture below shows the ideal setting to rid yourself of low audio sampling rate during previews - specifically, the Mute Audio when Preview Is Not Real-time checkbox.

The second Screen Capture of the Preview Panel has the Cache Before Playback checkbox enabled. Enable this if the advice above, on its own, does not solve your problem. HTH

You will have to describe as clearly as you can, what you mean when you say "audio is slow".

 

And, do you experience this when there are visual layers, together with the audio layer AND just Visual Layers.

You should also go through AE Tutorials which have been designed for beginners. The Help menu provides a direct link to AE Tutorials designed for different user-levels.

When you play the audio you just have the audio Layer or have another video layers?
