Corrupt wav files in Adobe but play fine in other apps

I have some old projects that have been backed up several times.  The problem is some of the sound files appear corrupt when I load them into Adobe Audition.  The sound plays all distorted with VERY LOUD clicks/pops in it.  However, I can play the same files just fine in any standard media player (Winamp, WMP, VLC player)
I tried opening the project in the new Audition but same thing happens.  I've also tried the "Open As" option and specifying what windows reports as it's sample rate etc but it comes out the same.  Most of the other wav files in the projects work just fine, but one here and there is like this and is preventing me from remixing anything.  Worst case scenario I suppose I could play the file in winamp and record it but then I'd have to match the timing up and everything and I just don't have the motivation to do that on all these projects.

This is one of the files if somebody wants to take a moment and look at it.  I just don't understand why winamp and all of them can play it fine if it was corrupt in any way, other than VLC which I know doesn't need file headers to play properly most of the time.
Below is a pic of what the wave looks like in Audition.  Oh, and Reaper reads the files just fine as well, if I hadn't trimmed all my wav files down i'd just paste the whole project into Reaper and remix but unfortunately I trimmed all the files already.

Well as I said it plays in standard media players such as Winamp (which generally will not play a file with a corrupt header or any sort of problem like that)  However I checked it out in that app you mentioned and the results seem normal to me.  I've tried Open As in Audition and I can choose the 44.1KHz and 32 bits but it opens the same as it did before.  So far I've only noticed 32 bit files with this problem but it's possible it has nothing to do with that.  Again, the file plays fine in all standard players, and Reaper and other audio apps open it just fine.  Audition will not.

Edit: Downloaded goldwave trial just to see, it opens flawlessly in Goldwave.  I suppose I can try resaving the files from within goldwave and see what happens...Audition is really pissing me off.

  • How can I play files that are possibly corrupt (play fine in other apps)?

    I have these three mp3 files that I am trying to add to itunes so that I can add them to my ipod. They play fine on winamp and I've listened to the entire song on each track without any problems. Itunes will not let me add them to the library though. It doesn't give me an error message, it simply doesn't add them. I've cleared my entire library and tried adding only these 3, by drag and drop as well as the file browser, and I'm certain that they simply do not appear in the library. Is there any way to fix the corrupt part of these files, or have itunes just ignore it and try playing them anyway?

    iTunes is very fussy about tags and sometimes will not play files other players accept.
    There are vearious things you could try, but backup any files before experimenting on them.
    You could try an MP3 repair tool:

    MP3 Tag Studio also claims repair capabilities.

  • Sync'd .wav files on iPod not playing

    I have iTunes version 8.0.1.11, iPod version 1.3 fifth generation w/video. I have two .wav files on iTunes that playing perfectly. #1 .wav file=36.6 MB, #2 .wav file=4.8 MB. Sync onto iPod appears fine. The bar at bottom of iPod page indicates that 41.4 MB has been sync'd onto iPod. On the iPod itself, all the sub-menus identify the .wav files present on the iPod. However, when I push the play button on iPod the play page comes up for each .wav file but nothing happens. The progress bar at bottom of play page has no movement, no increasing green bar. I have tested the iPod by sync'g part of an audiobook onto the iPod. No problem. After I attempt to play the .wav file then play page goes black. Yesterday I had no problem sync'g a similar .wav file onto same iPod. Thank you.

    Try converting the files to something else or even "converting" them to WAV files again forcing iTunes to create new copies. Then sync those and see if it works any better. A Wav to Wav "conversion" will be lossless. Or do a WAV to AIFF (also lossless) conversion and see if the AIFF files play.
    Good luck,
    Patrick

  • Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows

    I've got a Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows. I've tried all of the following initial tests as suggested on forums:
    -Ram swaps
    -Alternating video card in PCIe slots
    -Trying alternate video card
    -resetting pram and smc
    -Multiple tests with memtest86+ over 26hrs and no failed ram
    -Multiple tests (8-12 cycles) with apple HW diagnostics and no problems
    -Firmware is approved firmware for early 2008 model...no new updates.
    Gentoo livecd works fine and I even installed to hard drive and it boots fine with it. In addition to above tests I also ran a linux stress test putting all 8 cores at a load of 22 for 2.5hrs with no problems.
    Memtest86+ for 24hrs+ yields no problems.
    Where problems occur:
    Booting off hard drive, DVD or firewire yields an immediate curtain of death and booting off a new snow leopard DVD dies about 25% into the install.
    Looking at error log and a quick dmesg shows "Package 0 didn't get an HPET" and complains about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Google turns up illegal uses of this, so doesn't apply to my use case.
    I'm a bit stumped since all was working well until one day it was non-stop curtains of death and can't get them to go away.
    A logic board replacement at $1100 is not a feasible option for something that works on linux and windows, but not OS/X, is a bit disappointing and somewhat surprising.
    Thanks for your help and advice.
    Regards,
    Marcos

    Someone here once thought they knew EFI and Open Firmware a little, and used some commands from OF library that an Intel EFI Apple system didn't like. New logicboard.
    Of course to run or boot OS X and see video you need EFI based card. The presence of some PC cards can block OS X from booting.
    The fact you get part way through SL DVD, pull all the drives, put in a new drive and format it from SL DVD.
    Most of the things you tried are what are more common with PC hardware. Including where people have tried and failed to install OS X on unsupported hardware.
    I suppose it is possible something tried and failed to modify the Mac's firmware.
    If you have Windows running, and you have WD drives, WD just posted new Lifeguard utility which is what I use to do a good job of stripping a drive down and recertify it for reuse, works wonders. Maybe same for other makes with vendor utility.

  • Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc

    Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc, does anyone know how to fix this?  The photo's I burnt on the exact same type of disc work fine in both pc and macbook but the videos will only play on the pc.

    If you are trying to play these on quicktime then what video format are those videos?
    Wmp's?  You need to install Flip4Mac. 
    Most other formats?  Install Perian.
    Or just use vlc instead.  It's a much better, more powerful, and more general video player.

  • People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version

    i am using sharepoint 2010 and windows authentication
    recently i have updated my ie to ie11 and problem goes here.
    when i try to select from people picker, there are an unexpected error happened 
    however when i use other ie version, people picker work fine, what goes wrong?
    i have already added my system as trusted site
    if there any others thing i miss out?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version.
    IE 11 is known to have compatibility issues on SharePoint 2010, please make sure to:
    first of all, try installing latest update for IE 11 (several compatibility issues were fixed since the first release)
    add the site to compatibility view (in IE> Tools> Compatibility view settings> type site name> add)
    add the site to trusted sites and set the zone security level to low (in IE> Internet Options> Security> trusted sites> sites>add your site there> ok> custom level> select low> reset> ok)
    You can use developer tools (f12) and set browser mode to the version that is most compatible with your environment.

  • I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My wireless mouse with not scroll in mail but works fine in other applications? Any suggestions?

    I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My apple wireless mouse will not scroll in Mail but works fine in other applications.
    Any suggestions?

    First, see this discussion. If the solution suggested there doesn't work for you, continue.
    If you've installed a Mail plugin called "Mail Unread Menu" and you know how to remove it, please do that, then quit and relaunch Mail. Test. Otherwise, see below.
    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Safari 8.0.2 does not play any sound (but sound works in other apps).

    Safari 8.0.2 does not play any sound (but sound works in other apps).

    Hi Michaelgst,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you do not hear sound from Safari on your computer but you do hear sound in other applications. There may be several troubleshooting steps I would suggest to troubleshoot this situation. 
    The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend would be removing any unsupported third-party add-ons. Please use the information and instructions located in the attached article to complete this process. 
    Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues - Apple Support

  • With 10.2 I can only use system speaker output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps. How can I set this device in FCP 10.2? (it is set in both system preferences and midi)

    With 10.2 I can only use a system (e.g. speaker) output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used without any problems previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps (some like TwistedWave) setup in the program, and others (like Spotify) using system preferences & audio midi setup. How can I set the FF400 to be the sound output device in FCP 10.2? N.B. The FF400 is set as sound output device in both system preferences and audio midi setup.

    From the fcp.co forum. See if this does anything for you.

    I have the solution! Well it at least worked for me. This is the response I got from Apple, Can you please try the following steps towards fixing your audio issue, and report back with your results?
    1. Open the application Audio Midi Setup (located in Applications : Utilities)
    2. Select the Output Tab for the current output device
    3. Select the Configure Speakers option
    4. Select the Multichannel tab
    5. Change the setting to Stereo Now mine was set to stereo but the left channel wasn't showing left. re-clicking on stereo reloaded the settings and after clicking apply it worked. 

  • I can't download In Design but I can download other apps with no problems?

    I can't download In Design but I can download other apps like Photoshop with no problems?  I have deleted and reinstalled Creative Cloud and it still tells me there is an error.

    Thank you very much for your response Rave.  I was finally able to install the programme with the help of the Adobe staff  -  turned out my computer needed to have 7 Zip Software installed first!  After that  -  no problems.

  • I can't get my player to play videos while other apps are open IPAD 4gen

    I can't get my player to play videos while other apps are open IPAD 4gen
    Whenever, I have pages open or any other app I press the home button twice, and then I swipe to the right and obtain the menu that allows me to alter brightness or sound. At this point I press play and nothing works. However, once I go back to my youtube page, and press the play button then it works. If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

    just click the serial number in itunes ... geeze... just kidding
    you might be able to find it on the mac...
    in finder do your username under places then library then application support then MobileSync then Backups
    the shortest folder name should be the UDID
    of course that assumes it ever made a backup...
    if it made more than one there will be some -date-blah on the end...
