Windows Media Player supposedly won't play 24-bit files?
In a different thread:
"Laurence Payne" wrote in message ... Try to open it in Windows Media Player. If it will, it's 16-bit. If it won't, it's 24-bit. Or look at it's Properties in any wave editor. I've got some files I recorded that indicate 48khz/24bit both under Windows file properties as well as Soundforge, some were recorded in SoundForge, some in Cakewalk Home Studio 2, both set to record 48/24. They play fine in WMP. Realizing there may be issues I'm not aware of, if the programs were set to record at 24 bit and all file properties utilities indicate 24 bit, how is it that they might not be 24 bit? |

Hi Doc,
I know old versions of WMP couldn't play 24-bit files, but I'm guessing that newer versions will now play those files. If different utilities tell you it's a 24-bit file, then it almost certainly is. Dean |

WMP V10.00.00.3646 won't play 44K1 24bit files. Pathetic, eh. SF certainly does record 24 bit files and save them as such. geoff |

No problem for foobar2000. Another reason to switch.

ups.com Same problem with WinAmp. IME Winamp will play 24 bit files and high smaple rate files, if you have it set up to use an audio interface that can handle them. |

I wheeled out a machine with a M-Audio Audiophile 24/192 in it. Neither Winamp nor Meida Player 10 will handle a 24/96 stereo .wav file. |

WMP V10.00.00.3646 won't play 44K1 24bit files. Pathetic, eh. Just need to add a filter to your setup for WMP to work. From WM Discussion Group: You could consider it a Windows "plug-in" for audio playback with old style wav headers. BWF and many wav files use the old style wav header which Windows by default only supports up to 16-bit 2-channel. The filter expands this support for 24, 32 and 64 bit files with any number of channels. 24-bit BWF files can be a little tricky though as they weren't specified in the original EU BWF spec, so it will make the assumption that the files have 24-bit packing and not 32-bit packing. If there is a problem with that let me know and I can try and derive a solution. Download the filter he http://www.chrisnet.net/msdn/AudioTypeConvert.zip - Legacy HD Audio Filter There no installer at the moment as it is primarily intended for developers. So to install copy the file to a folder on the hard-drive and register as follows from the run line or a command prompt replacing the path as required: regsvr32 "c:\my filters\AudioTypeConvert.ax" and to uninstall regsvr32 /u "c:\my filters\AudioTypeConvert.ax" |

Well, at least it works! |
