| Summary | 0000918: (0.9beta27) Import 24-bit .wav files - they appear as silence | ||||
| Description | Trying to import some 4-channel, 24-bit .wav files (created with arecord). Sometimes the audition in the import dialogue causes a segmentation fault crash, but otherwise just plays silence. When files are imported and dragged into Ardor tracks, only silence (flat-line waveform) appears. Tested with 16 and 32 bit .wav files with no problems, audio imports perfectly. | ||||
| Additional Information | Fedora Core 1, CCRMA, just ran apt-get update/upgrade to get 0.9beta27. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

created with arecord? hahaha! ok, seriously, run sndfile-info on the files, and also try sndfile-play to see if that can play them. |

Here's the output from sndfile-info: Version : libsndfile-1.0.11 ======================================== File : test24.wav Length : 2489804 RIFF : 2489796 WAVE fmt : 16 Format : 0x1 => WAVE_FORMAT_PCM Channels : 4 Sample Rate : 44100 Block Align : 16 Invalid file generated by Syntrillium's Cooledit! Treating as WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT 32 bit floating point file. Bit Width : 24 (should be 32) Bytes/sec : 705600 data : 2489760 End ---------------------------------------- Sample Rate : 44100 Frames : 155610 Channels : 4 Format : 0x00010006 Sections : 1 Seekable : TRUE Duration : 00:00:03.528 Signal Max : 2.35099e-38 (-752.57 dB) So anyway, obviously something not right. I realize that there are newer better recording tools than arecord, but I was on the spot in a session and went back to the old standby. At least aplay can play back those files, so at worst I'm in for an analog transfer. |

i am marking this "resolved" but it really needs to be reported to the ALSA mantis system as well. its a disaster that arecord/aplay try to implement their own code for reading/writing audio files, and this is just one manifestation of that. |
