theavonlady 2 Posted November 20, 2002 Nothing works for me! Running WinXP. dbPowerAmp converts WAVs to OGGs that can be listened to with WinAmp but not heard in OFP. Audio Conversion Wizard just doesn't run when I doubleclick on it. Wavesurfer gets an internal error after I download its OGG plugin and try converting the WAV. What's a mother to do??

bn880 5 Posted November 20, 2002 Hmmm, make sure to convert with a constant not variable bitrate. Also don't go for the lowest possible bitrate, I think it doesn't play. If you substitute your converted .ogg with some other .ogg from another mission does it play? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balschoiw 0 Posted November 20, 2002 make sure rate is 44Khz and 16 Bit mono. Furthermore use the search function of the forums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balschoiw 0 Posted November 20, 2002 44Khz makes soundquality excellent, where 22Khz sounds very washed in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Software like Cool Edit and SB Live wave edit or something does it. Probably hundreds of apps around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walker 0 Posted November 20, 2002 Hi Avon Have you got an old copy of MS Sound Recorder Maybe in a compatability patch ancient software from Win95. When you save as you have options to save in older Wav formats Mickysoft changed formats so they wont load in none Mickysoft software not that I think they did this on purpose when you save as you can save in other formats I think it PCM 48,000 Hz 16 bit sterio Might help Kind Regards walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
advocatexxx 0 Posted November 20, 2002 I suggest getting Sound Forge XP. Cheaper than the professional version with most of the benefits that come with it. Not only can you easily change bit depth but you can also resample with great anti-aliasing, not to mention all the useful enhancements, effects and an in-depth equalizer.

Nothing works, so I'm going to take a positive attitude. There must be some useful male out there who can convert this Simpsons song WAV file (edit: link removed) for me to an OGG playable in OFP and zip it and email it to me.

HK (HunterKiller) 0 Posted November 26, 2002 I know that it's a bit on the Late side for this post, but Goldwave, it's probably the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to anything sound related, just d'load it and get the ogg plugin, you can do all sorts with it, sampling editing etc etc. brilliant proggy.....get it here if your interested Goldwave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
