Sound file doesn't s

Hello everybody,
I've written a program in Borland Delphi 5, which controls the sound output with DirectX 9.0c. In this program, i'm starting a sound file (.wav), that doesn't stops after playing it. I've got a "SoundBlaster Li've! 24-Bit" installed. Does anybody know if this could be a driver issue? Cause I can't reproduce the bug on other hardware configurations with OnBoard sound for example.

stonyrue,
Are you using DirectSound functions? If DSBPLAY_LOOPING is set (such as for accessing the primary buffer) in the call to Play, you'd need to call :Stop to end the sound. A while back, I programmed an application directly using DirectSound, but I found that C++ sound functions are easier :-) But YMMV.Message Edited by Katman on 05-30-200704:46 PM

Nautilus doesn't preview sound files

Hi everyone.
Why "preview sound files" isn't working in Gnome 2.12.2? Do you know if I need some add-on?
Thanks in advance.

First make sure esd is installed
pacman -S esd
, and make sure esd is running on startup ( Desktop -> Preferences -> Multimedia system selector (if it doesn't exist look for something with multimedia or sound, i have Gnome 2.14 and those things have changed AFAIK) -> Check "turn on sound"
now install mpg321
pacman -S mpg321
Now logout/login (or reboot) and it should work

File doesn't sound the same when I return to it

I worked hard on a mix of a tune back in December. I have a bounce from that session that I listen to as a reference, but when I open the Logic File, some regions don't play, automation is off and all sorts of things are not the same. It's like the whole file has reverted to some old version with an old mix. The date of the last save matches the date of the bounce, so I cannot figure out why the file doesn't play down the way that I left it, even though I left it months ago.
Any thoughts?
Much appreciated...

Hi Eriksimon,
Firstly, thanks for your message.
What I meant by "hi pass mid pass shrinking in" is EXACTLY what you menat, I got a heavy bass and muffed high and mid content. Apologised for my poor English.
I haven't checked the setting of the playback device yet but instead I tested it with some professional produced tracks. I know the sound tends to vary a little bit when playing from computer and CD player such as the CDJ 900 that I am using. The differences were not as significant as my own track. They tend to get a rather good balance. My track is well balanced and mixed (I guess) in Logic but it turns out completely different when using the CD player.
I bounced my work to MP3 with highest BIte Rate.

How do I get a handle on embedded sound files?

From the Sound Class information, it says to use the SoundMixer Class to handle embedded Sound Files. I have two sound files embedded, that I have setup in 2 separate layers, starting at frame one in the main timeline. I needed to do this so I could see the wave files, and coordinate text with the waves. I do not want to load these files into the .swf file at runtime using URLRequest. How do I get a handle on those as they exist, to make each controllable by separate volume and mute controls for each sound?
This will be a challenging question, because, "it can't be done" doesn't work for me. I managed to create a way to use an external classfile to control the main timeline, the ROOT timeline, without having to create a sub movie to root. I can use my component to call play(); as though it were in code in a frame. But it isn't, it's in an external classfile. I passed root to the classfile and told the classfile to think of it as a movieclip - that put the handle on it. I tried similar way with root as a Sound, but that isn't detailed enough - I need to get a handle on the frame that contains the embedded sound file. I embedded, attached it, using the properties view for the frame.
I've attached, or whatever you want to call it, these sound files to a frame, and this frame is or should be attached to the layer I've created. So, under the assumption that the ROOT has everything attached to it in some manner (it is after all the foundation for the COM), the stage of the root contains the visual components, so ROOT has to have the layer objects attached to it, which should have the frame objects attached to the layers. I have two layers that each have a .wav file attached to frame one. Somehow Flash keeps track of that - I want to know how Flash does it so I can read what flash reads.
If this seems redundant, it probably is. I want to paint the best picture I know how so I can get detailed feedback. Please, if you have questions ask them so we can clarify, and get this resolved! Thanks for reading!

lol.
ok, it can be done. keep working on it.

Exporting to QT on Keynote with embedded narration or audio files doesn't work

When I create a Keynote presentation, I often publish them for viewing after the presenttion. I have been making presentations for a long time and never had luck with Keynote using narration. When you edit a narration, it first "appears" to erase everything from the point you choose to edit forward.   However, when you finalize the presentation and export to QT as a movie (yes the edits sound fine when you are using keynote itself) EVERY PREVIOUSLY RECORDED TAKE on each slide will playback at the same time making the audio incomprehensible. I'm using a 2013 2.3 GHz quad core i7 with 16 GB DDR3 and the newest Keynote 6.01 2013.   Narration has NEVER worked properly on any previous version, and still doesn't.
I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
Keynote is simply a buggy inferior product for use in recording presentations as far as I am concerned, and I am very very disappointed in Apple for not figuring these issues out.   It's not a new product, and it's not as if most educators are not participating in on-line posting or sharing their work as movies for later viewing by students.
I'd appreciate hearing what others do to work around these issues before heading back to Powerpoint or having to make complex i Movies with slides as images and adding qt narration to the movies.   Keynote claims to do this... it just but I've never encountered an apple product with more bugs.

I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions; use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

Need to play and stop sound file with 1 ms resolution

Hi,
I'm trying to open a .wav file then later play it at a time when another parallel loop activates a boolean local variable which controls playback in my "sound" loop. I need high time resolution in stopping the playing of the .wav file, ~1ms. From what I've gathered, I can't use the "sound output write.vi" because it locks the loop until it finishes outputting a set number of samples. Because of this, "sound output stop.vi" has to wait until the next iteration, which is more than ~1 ms.
In the help menu of the Sound Ouput VIs it says you can set the task ID for the "sound output start.vi" using the "sound output configure.vi." Unfortunately I've only been able to use the "sound output start.vi" following "play sound file.vi", and I don't really know why this is the case.
I can't start my sound with the "play sound file.vi" because it locks the loop its in until it finishes playing the sound. Oddly this only happens when there is a parallel loop running, if I run it by itself, with no other loops, it doesn't lock the loop. I thought it might have something to do with the local variable, but the loop doesn't lock when the loop restarts the sound using the "sound output start.vi."
After opening a .wav file, can i use the "sound output configure.vi" to create a task ID for the "sound output start.vi" to work? Or do I have to use the "sound output write.vi" after calling the "sound output configure.vi." The help menu makes it seem like the prior suggestion is possible.
Thanks a lot!

Since it sounds like the problem you're running into is getting the data loaded from the file before you're ready to play it, look at the Files sub-palette, specifically the Sound File Read Simple VI. You can use this VI to load the data into a waveform and have it ready for use later in the program.
So in your overall program, read the file with Sound File Read Simple and configure the output with Sound Output Configure and call Sound Output Write when you're ready to play the waveform.

Sound File into AIFF file, 8 Bits, 8 Khz.

Write a small program that takes any sound file and converts it to: AIFF file, 8-bit, and 8-kHz, and a single channel.
Explain each step plese.

No, you should not lose any quality. File sizes are comparable, but .aiff supports a tag to which you can add artwork, .wav doesn't. If you want smaller files with no loss of quality convert to Apple Lossless. One of my test files is about 2/3 the size of the original.

Sound file is not uploading to server

I am trying to upload a sound file to my remote server and it is saying the following:
Life_is_a_ Highway.mp3 - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot put Life_is_a_ Highway.mp3. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I have tried passive ftp and that doesn't help
I have the underscores between the words in the file name
I cant figure it out.
Any help would be wonderful
Thanks

Can you upload a plain HTML file or JPG to your server?
Have you tried using a 3rd party FTP app like Filezilla?

Can you record sound using a USB 6211 and convert the data to a .wav (or other sound) file?

Hello,
I am trying to build a system that will use a USB 6211 to record sounds from multiple electret microphones and then save the data as a .wav file or other sound file. I have already built my mics and hooked the mics up to the USB 6211; the DAQ device seems to do an adequate job recording the signal - I've recorded from 3 mics at a time at 11,025 Hz, although I don't know how good the signals are since I can't save them for playback after the fact, and they aren't going through my sound card. Ultimately, I would like to save the data as a multichannel audio file which I could then open in a program such as Audacity for further editing and analysis. Since Audacity can import a variety of sound files, my file format doesn't need to be .wav if another format would work better.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Eric

If you are sampling all three simultaneously, your highest frequency recordable will be (11,025/2)/3, so about 1800Hz and that will pretty coarse (traditionally digital sound recording is at 44Ks/s at the low end). As to converting to a .wav, there are functions on the "Graphics and Sound" palette for saving waveforms to a .wav file.

Minimum size/maximum quality MP3 sound file balance

My first objective when creating MP3 files is to compress the sound file as much as possible, and I don't want any file to exceed 1MB, if possible. (One exception was compressing a 30 minute poetry recitation into a 1.8 MB file.) That turned out okay, but music is another story. So, I'd like to know more about how to strike a satisfactory balance between size and quality. For the iTunes MP3 import settings,this means choosing between (1) STEREO BIT RATES (16kbps to 320 kbps), (2) QUALITY (Low to Highest), and (3) CHANNEL (mono or stereo)
In the past, I have always chosen mono, but it now occurs to me that the quality enhancement of stereo might justify the larger files caused by slightly higher kbps settings. That's just one example. Anyway, I'd like to read an article on the trade-offs between the variables that iTunes provides. Any
suggestions?

Stereo Bit Rate is what people are talking about when they say that a song is XXX kbps. (kbps is a measure of bit-rate, a measure of kilobytes per second).
Stereo v. Mono really depends on what type of song you are sampling, and what you are listening to it on. For virtually all music recorded after 1970, though, you'd probably want to use Stereo.
Also, you might get some mileage by making sure that you are importing the music at 41.100 kHz rather than using Auto or 48.000. (This is basically the "speed" at which the music is sampled. The faster its sampled, the more information it contains. It makes it higher quality, but also higher file size. You probably won't notice too much difference between 41.1 and 48.)
Finally, you should also check the Variable Bit Rate box. This will help reduce the file size, as the bit rate will be reduced during silences and other times where the song doesn't need more information.
As for the overall Bit Rate, its really subjective. Your best bet is to just try it at a few different levels and decide which is best for you.

.aif sound file, Dreamweaver CS6

I'm designing a web page with Dreamweaver CS6 that has an .aif format audio file. When the page is opened on the web the way it is now, the music automatically starts playing. I want to make it so the viewer/listener has to click the arrow before the music starts. Is that possible and if so how can I change it so the listener has to click to start the music?
Any help would be much appreciated.

AIF is not suitable for the web. It's too huge.
Convert your sound file to MP3 and OGG. This will reach the widest browser audience. Then use an HTML5 audio player like the one below.

My incoming mail user .wav file doesn't play for incoming mails. It does work on local test.

I have windows 7 Professional PC and use Mozilla Thunderbird 24.4.0 as my email account. I have a local .wav music file for incoming mail which tests OK, but when a new mail arrives it doesn't play. I have all the boxes ticked in the settings. Can anyone help please?

An update on local .wav sound file for incoming TB mail messages.
Driver Booster found outdated drivers and all have been updated.
Sound device has been removed from the device manager and automatically re-installed.
From advice given I have turned mail.imap.use_status_for_biff to "false".
Still no sound from my local .wav file. Is my problem unique? Is 2.74 MB too large as a sound file?

How to play downloaded sound files?

I 'save as' sound files from a nature recordist's group - usually mp3s- but I cant play them.
Help? I know this is the place.
Thanks

As Duane says, iTunes should play MP3. If you have downloaded to, say, the desktop, iTunes will not automatically play it. But if you double click it, iTunes should automatically open and import the song as long as iTunes has been set as your default player. If that doesn't work, occasionally you need to drag & drop the file into an open iTunes window. If that doesn't work the file is corrupt or isn't MP3 even if the download says it is.
Have fun!

Event for not supported sound file type

Hi,
Is there an event or error that is dispatched when a user is trying to load a sound file that is not supported?
When I try to load a ".wav" file (that is not supported) I don't get any event or error that indicates the sound load didn't succeed, it just doesn't load.
I listen to IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, but it only fires when the file doesn't exist.
any ideas except checking the extension of the file name?
thx

What is your operating system & version?
What are you trying to install - Adobe Reader or Flash Player?
What is the filename and size of the downloaded installer?

Attachment dropped error on all sound files with mms

I have yet to be able to get a sound file of any type to work in mms. All I get is sn error like this:
Filename.filetype
Attachment Dropped: <filename.filetype> of type: <audio/mpeg; name=filename.mp3>
I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem and AT&T doesn't seem to have a clue how to fix it...
I'm using a 3g iphone with 3.1 and the most current carrier file. Pictures seem to work fine.

Have you restarted your iPhone? Have you done a hard reset? In order to do a hard reset (a hard reset does not delete any data), hold down the home and sleep button (disregarding the power off slider) until the iPhone shuts off and turns back on. Once the iPhone turns back on, let go of the buttons and wait. It will take a little longer for the iPhone to boot up.
If that doesn't work, then I would say you might have to reinstall the firmware.
