Audio files with distorted sound.

[bbjimmy]

hrev30529 This sound system worked perfectly until recent changes were made.

I use the startup sound file from BeOS hrev5.

[anevilyak]

Any specifics as to roughly what revision the behavior changed at?

[bbjimmy]

Works fine in hrev30496

[korli]

Maybe related to wav reader changes.

[bbjimmy]

hrev30607 VLC plays the sound files perfectly, but Media player, Sounds preferences, and playsound all distort the output. This is not a driver issue, but the media codec must be hosed.

[bbjimmy]

I changed to the startup and beep sounds from Windows XP and they work pertectly. The codec is not working properly for all .wav files.

[bga]

This is a codec issue so assigning it to dlmcpaul. Are your sound files with problems small enough? If so, attach them to this bug or make them available somewhere.

BeBeep.wav

[bbjimmy]

BeStartup.wav

[dlmcpaul]

hrev31003 and hrev31004 corrected a number of issues with MSADPCM playback.

The BeBeep.wav and BeStartup.wav now play correctly.

Please test other wav files and let me know of any issues.

This is a build problem, and has nothing to do with this bug. Please don't reopen tickets in such a case, but instead complain on the mailing list.

[jahaiku]

OK, should I use in future the "main development list" or another?

[axeld]

That would be the one.

Replying to dlmcpaul:

hrev31003 and hrev31004 corrected a number of issues with MSADPCM playback.

The BeBeep.wav and BeStartup.wav now play correctly.

Please test other wav files and let me know of any issues.
