When I play a sound in Max on the computer I'm working at it has a weird shaky reverberating effect, but If i put the files onto a different computer it plays just fine. My audio driver works properly because I can listen to the file outside of max just fine. I'm just doing a simple sfplay~ so there is nothing too tricky about it. Are there settings in Max I could have messed up?

What driver IO vector size is Max set to?

What driver IO vector size is Max set to?
What is you buffer size?
What OS are you using? 

Check any live monitoring or related settings (as well as audio routing in the real world) as you may have created a feedback loop or perhaps the Max audio out is sending the same signal to the same output via two different software routing paths. I know that is pretty vague, but I ran into an issue once that sound like some really strange reverb/delay effect but a cabling and setting mistake with using my Motu 828mkII a few years ago (don't remember exactly what the problem was).

Check for the in built settings provided with Max. Since it seems your Audio driver is working perfectly, hence some settings needed to be done in Max.
