Hi, I have uploaded the files try1.wav and try1.log to the ftp server. Maybe someone can take a look. When playing the file try1.wav using sox (i.e. "play try1.wav") I hear a normal sound. When playing through mplayer, I hear lots of percussive noise superimposed on the sound, as if a jackhammer is working nearby. I tried various audio filters, e.g. mplayer -af format=2:imaadpcm and so on, and couldn't get any improvement. The command I used was: mplayer -v try1.wav >& try1.log I use: MPlayer 1.0pre1, OSS audio gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) linux 2.4.21 on Pentium II (mmx enabled) ===== ---- Serge Winitzki __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
