Do they stutter in preview, or after export? What version of VP is being used? Look at the left-bottom corner of the VP window.
Let's have a look at one or two of the 22kHz files. That's the only way to get to the root of the issue.
Upload the file/s to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, get a shared (public) link, copy the link and paste it here or to me in a Private Message via the mail envelope in the top-right corner of this forum. When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view."
