Default Playback Problem

Just upgraded to a new computer and Pro Tools 9:

Windows 7 Home
i5 650 Processor
6MB RAM
Dedicated internal Pro Tools Drive: Seagate ST3750528AS 750 GB (7,200 RPM, 8.5 ms seek time)
MBOX2

Everything sounds heavily digitally distorted.

Sounds like either a clock issue or hard drive issue. I checked to verify the clock is set to "Internal."

Thanks,

Greg

Does increasing the number of host processors or buffer size fix it?

Probably neither of those.. clocking issues manifest in clicking and "pops", and drive issues usually won't let you get off the ground. But, without hearing it, hard to tell.
Is the distortion on playback and input? ff

Yes, the distortion is on both playback and input.

Trash prefs and reboot. If that doesn't help, post in the Windows/LE section and include a Sandra report.
