NO SOUND! Downloading .wav files

I have tried to download this audio file:
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/data/37/sounds/37914_kathol__fog_horn_sample_dry.wav
From the great "freesound" website.
I hit the website's "download" button and—Safari or Firefox browsers open a new window that appears to be a QT movie—as you can see. When I do a "save as" I get nothing at all.
A 4 second .wav file appears, (which is clearly much too short) and—NO SOUND.
Other times, there is no problem at all downloading .wav files.
What can I do?

OK, thanks, QTK, that worked. I could at least hear it.
However, how do I save it to use/import into a movie presentation?
And WHY does it not download/respond like a regular .mov file?
Why does one have to jump through hoops for some files?

Sound media (.wav) file no longer working

Is there a place where you can get a list of media types that are supported in 1.3, specifically .wav files? I need 1.3 rather than 1.2 as the .wav sound file I am using worked in 1.2, but now doesn't :-(
MediaError: media unsupported:com.sun.media.jmc.MediaUnsupportedException: Unsupported media: jar:file:/C:/dev/cmts/dist/cmts.jar!/cmts/applic/resources/buzzer.wav
It happens in the onError() function of javafx.scene.media.Media.
I used to get lovelly buzzer sounds and now there is only silence. Should I convert the file to another format? If anyone has any recommendations on the way to proceed that would be great.
thanks - Chris

It's like if suddendly Adobe would decide that it is impossible to put sound, soundtracks or movies into a SWF. Or as I when I bought Mass Effect Galaxy (not a good game by the way) on the Apple App Store, instead of installling a wooping 110MB+ on my ipod Touch, instead EA and Bioware would have had me streaming the Mass Effect music and the game 's small video and voice acting sequence out of their web site each time I was playing... that would have been laughable.. especially considering the speed of the Internet over there...
Furthermore it's not a technical limitation or they'd have to seriously decrease the capabilities of the JVM by the time Java 7 comes out.
I just hope that someone (JFXtras) would come up with a new Media implementation using the good old ClassPath access to overcome this "but how did they came up with that crazy idea" limitation.
Yes in some case streaming is good but yes in some other cases, providing a fully enclosed packaged app is way better. We want both options!

How to allow clients to download wav files stored on IPIVR

Hi All,
I am running IPIVR System version: 8.0.2.11004-12 and ICM 8.0.3
I have a specific requirement that client want to download wav recordings stored on IPIVR.
Please advice is there any way to fulfill this without giving IPIVR access to client.
If there is any specific script for this, please provide that as well.
Thanks.

Hi Gargely,
Thanks for your inputs. However could you please advice some more details:
1. my prompts are saved under root/en_US/Survey/filename.wav
So my URL should be http://ipaddr:9080/PRompts/en_US/Survey/filename.wav
Please correct me if above is wrong, because when i put above URL, i am getting HTTP 404 - Not found error
HTTP Status 404 - Not Found
type Status report
message Not Found
description The requested resource (Not Found) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/6.0.20
it seems i am doing something wrong.
2. I am going to implement this method after getting some approvals for restarting the CCX engine.
Meanwhile please advice for the first method.

Why does it take so long to Download wave file on iPad

Why does it take so long, or moreover, never seem to download a wave or other video file from email to the iPad?
It just stays in the downloading state with the small wheel spinning...

Sound in wave files not working

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion on my Mac email attachments such as videos - sound no longer working.
Sound in iTunes etc still works fine.
Using mail as my email program.
I welcome suggestions.

i got it installed and working correctly after alot of work. Its ok except the sound when playing my demos in various program in winamp, sound forge or some games has like a skipping sound here and there. Any suggestions to this, i have reinstalled directx9b and it solved the sound from being terrible but other than that still not really acceptable for my music producing and editing.

I'm trying to download .wav files on my MacBook.

I'm not the most computer savvy, but I was able to download them on my desktop a few years ago. When I left click I am not given the "save to" option. What am I doing wrong (I know its something incredibly simple - and I'm going to do the head slap when I'm told). It very frustrating! Any help would be appreciated.

thanks! - I figured out my issue and I was right it definitely was a head smacking solution

Problem accessing sounds in jar file

Hi,
I have made a program and packed it to a jar file.
Everything works fine in the IDE, so this is purely a matter of jar access.
The jar has 6 folders.
framework (which is one of my packages)
META-INF
sound (also my package)
sounds (my wav files for the program)
sprite (another package)
sprites (my graphics for the program).
I access the graphics in sprites, from a class in sprite and have no problem with it.
try {
               URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(ref);
               if (url == null) {
                    fail("Kan ikke finde ref: "+ref);
               sourceImage = ImageIO.read(url);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               fail("fejl ved load: "+ref);
          }The problem is accessing the wav file in the sounds folder from a class in the sound folder.
try{
               AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("Sounds/1999.wav"));
               AudioFormat format = stream.getFormat();
               DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, stream.getFormat(),
                         ((int)stream.getFrameLength()*format.getFrameSize()));
               clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
               clip.open(stream);
          }I have tried to use the class loader like this (instead of AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream) :
AudioInputStream stream = (AudioInputStream) this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("sounds/1999.wav");
but it didnt help.
Does anyone have any suggestione?
Please, if all you can do, is paste a link to the java API, save your energy. I have already looked and it was no help, as im still only a student of java.
I would like an actual suggestion, so i can see it work, then i can make work my way through the API from there.
Edited by: Mondariz on May 7, 2008 8:26 AM

Don't try to use a File object to access resources from the jar. You have a working process for accessing the sprites, just use the same process to access the sounds. Only not quite the same method, there's one method which returns a URL and a very similar method which returns an InputStream. I would post the link to the documentation but you asked for us to not do that. Anyway you seem to know where it is.

.wav files not playing after upgrade to IOS 7.1

My company's email system sends .wav fils to our email. Since the upgrade to IOS 7.1, the .wav files are garbled and staticy. Anyone have any info on known bugs affecting .wav files?
thanks

ADd this to the ever growing list of issues with apple devices ( note the first two letters capitalized?).
i Can no longer play any downloaded .wav files either! And I've just restored my iPad, yadda, yadda!
IT won't be long now and my iPad will be totally useless! Honestly not a day goes by anymore where my ipad and phone don't give me some sort of trouble.
using safari it constantly locks up, resets my session , reboots the whole ipad, radio buttons on pages May or may not work and the list goes on!
i Recall a day when I used to tell people if they wanted an easy to use bullet proof computer that was handicapped ,but stable to buy Apple. That is no longer the case and even with the stringent controls Apple puts on developers of Apple apps, Apple is losing its appeal. Actually for me, that time has already come. Heck if I can't even use this $1000 device to do so,etching as simple as surf the web, then what good is it for anything? ( that was something spelt correctly twice).
GRrrr

Text to wav files - make it sound human voice?

Hi, I have a program called text to wav, it lets you type in whatever you want to say (I'm doing this for a movie I'm puttiing together, creating voices for the "actors" b/c my actors aren't real people, they're to be human models created in 3DS max) in a text field (you have your pick of which voice to use, MS mike voice, MS sam voice, or MS mary voice), then you can save it as a wav file.
Ok, i did this, and I've loaded it into audition (my version of audition is from adobe CS 2 suite) and I'm using the Adobe Audition classroom in a book for this version of audition to attempt to make this voice sound human, that is, more like a human's voice would sound, and so far, I think I'm getting the results I want in this wav file, but I'd like to upload it to this post so you guys can take a look at this file.
how do I upload a wav file to adobe forums so I can receive help with it?
i see the video upload link, i tried this, but it says to upload as a youtube file, and at this point i'm not too confortable with putting any of the audio files (created from text to wav) or video animation files (created from 3ds max) out on youtube/the internet yet, since my movie is not yet finished/burned on dvd for distribution at this time, so how do i do this so I can receive help with this audio file?
my laptop is a dell xps m1530 running xp home sp3, 4 gigs ram, 1 TB hdd,
thanks in advance.

Ha Ha!
You seriously think that Adobe would let you post an audio file on its audio software forum?
Yeah, well we did too. Unfortunately the people who run the forum software don't seem to understand that (or a lot else that we've asked about), so you simply can't do it.
Get a Dropbox basic account, put your file in the dropbox folder on your computer, right-click on it and find the public link, copy it and post that to the forum. The reason that I'm suggesting Dropbox specifically is that you just get a link to a file, and not to a load of download garbage that you get with other providers, which is a right PITA.

E66 .wav file attachment download

On the E51 and E65 when an email attachment that is a .wav file was downloaded, the phone would allow playback immediately without saving or any other action. On the E66 as with the N95 the file comes up with the attachment but will not allow it to be immediately played. The only way that I have been able to figure out playing the attachemtn is to save it to the phone internally in "sound clips". I must then go to sound clips and play the file from there after downloading and saving. There must be a better wa to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Trung,
Try disabling plug-ins in Chrome and see if it works, if works you can pin-point out the exact plug-in causing the issue.
Type this in the chrome browser's address bar:
about:plugins
Reference:
Chrome: Attachments save as attachment.ashx and a number

Why won't my .wav files show up in a 3rd party sound application after being exported as an omf file

Hi all, I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer, so hopefully someone out there will have mercy and help me!
I have Canon 7D footage (h.264 codec) and H4N Zoom audio (24bit 48khz .wav files) loaded into Premiere Pro CS 5. Editing on a Macbook Pro OS 10.6.8. I haven't added timecode.
My workflow, which I've done successfully several times in the past, is to sync the footage by creating individual sequences for each take (usually interview takes) and then bring in the audio and video and manually line/sync them up. I then link the two clips.
I then create a new sequence for my edit and then cut parts of the previously synced clips and then paste them into the sequence and edit away. After locking I export an omf (48khz, 24 bit, files as separate audio, aiff files, with 24frame handles). Then I import the OMF into Soundtrack Pro.
However this time, the majority of the sound clips do not show up in Soundtrack Pro timeline even though they are present in the omf folder as Aiff files. Normally you would think this was an issue with Soundtrack Pro, however one audio file did show up in Soundtrack Pro, but it was a sound file I had not linked to a video clip. Upon further investigation I found that that the audio clip that was not synced retained it's STE-014.wav name in the Premiere timeline. All the other audio I had synced to video had somehow taken on the video clip's MVI 0075 name.
I checked my old projects (the ones that I successfully exported to OMF) and even when I synced the audio and video, the audio retained it's STE.wav name. I don't know why the names changed; I did a test in my current project by cutting and pasting a synced clip at the end of the edit timeline and the audio retained it's STE.wav name. See pic.
After further tests, if the audio retains it's STE name it shows up in Soundtrack Pro (and Soundbooth as well), if it takes on the video MVI name it doesn't. I've tried exporting as an AAF and a Final Cut Pro XML file and it still doesn't work. I've tried unlinking and relinking the clips as well as making the audio offline and then relinking but still nada. I also cleaned the media cache to no avail.
If I render and replace the audio in the edit timeline, the name doesn't change, but the audio file does show up in Soundtrack Pro and Soundbooth, but unfortunately I need handles to edit the sound so this doesn't help me much.
Any ideas? and thanks!

Yes, it has always worked in the past. The past projects audio clips do not change names. I obviously did something different in this current project, but unfortunately I have no idea what.

How do you open/play a .wav file (music file) without play sound file .vi

I am having big problems to create a music background for my project. I am newbie using labview and maybe my questions is not so dificult to solve (I hope so)
I was using play sound file vi but the problem is that I dont want the music file start automatically. I wanna control the start time using a button. I tried include a sound output stop but when the app start and I add more wav files in my vi, the sound file start, then stop abruptally because the stop vi and the everything is normal. I would like to eliminate that error.
Someone have any idea, maybe using open file or another way.
Thanks in advance
I add a screenshot of my vi and also the vi in this post

How do I open a Quicktime created wav file in other sound editing software?

A friend sent me three wav files created in QuickTime but they won't open in ANY sound editing software or players I have other than Quicktime. I need to use these for an upcoming podcast but can't do anything with them until I can open them with my editing software (WavPad Sound Editing).
Can someone please tell me how to do this?

On a Windows system you can't. There is a plugin codec for WMV for the Mac version of QuickTime, but not for Windows. You'll need to use other software.
Regards.

My Sine Wave File sounds different in Logic than iTunes

I am working on creating musical compositions with embedded sine wave patterns (which I am generating in a foriegn application). These sine waves are designed to entrain the brain to different frequencies to facilitate in stimulating meditative states of consciousness in the listener.
Unfortunately, when I import my sine wave audio file (in .wav format) Logic changes it and the rhythm is frequency is twice as fast! When I play the file in iTunes it sounds just the way I generated it, but when I import it into Logic through the audio bin or simply drag and drop onto the arrange window, it sounds different and cannot work for the precise control I require for my compositions.
Does any one have any idea why this is happening or what I can do to import my audio file without changing it?
Thank you so much for any ideas/assistance,
Devlin Dewitt Donnelly

Hi DD Smooth,
you should check sample rate settings on your original audio files and make them match the sample rate settings on your logic project prior to importing them. Sounds like you are generating 48khz .wav files in your foreign app and Logic must be set to 44.1khz by default. Or the other way around
