Bingo... That was it. It was set to 2 seconds. How? I have no idea. It used to be set to something obscene, like 500. I set it back to 300, and now all is good with the world.

Thanks everyone! Things are looking up, now I just need to get some time to tweak the EQ (frustrating at best)... How well does the autoEQ work? I might pick up a mic and give it a whirl.
