Re: FLASH: newbie problem with sound

[2Nerotik]

Yes they most likely will have been compressed like an MP3.


To check if MP3 layer encoding has been used to compress the wav

run the WAV file with Windows Media Player and look under "File"

--> "Properties" --> "Advanced" a normal WAV (uncompressed) will only

List "Default DirectSound Device" whereas a compressed WAV will list

"Default DirectSound Device" AND "MPEG Layer-3 Decoder".


The only solution I know of is to rename the file extension to .MP3 and

use a sound program to convert the MP3 to a normal uncompressed WAV


WinAmp is really good, easy and quick for doing this. http://www.winamp.com


Load MP3 file into Winamp, go to --> "Options" --> "Preferences" --> "Output"

change "Nullsoft waveOut plug-in" to Nullsoft Disk Writer plug-in"


Great for doing batch jobs, just load a bunch of MP3s you wish convert to WAV

and press play.


Make sure if you wish to use Winamp to just play MP3 music to switch the 

plug-in

back to waveOut. Otherwise....
