Sound file not playing

[I][edited from support email][/I]

We are trying to display a sound file as a stimuli. For some reason it doesn't work, it seems as the program doesn't find or recognize the wav file (although it is placed right in the folders). We're using the exact same syntax from your sample of a sound file (btw, when we use a sound file of yours it works, like 'zebra' or 'tone'). The sound file is an audio wav file. Do you know why does this happen? Does the wav file should be defined with specific properties?

I'd need to see a copy of the input file and a sample sound file that doesn't play.

Attached an input file and a sound file.

Thanks,
Tali

What program did you use to make the sound file? I use Audacity (free from download.com) as a sound editor and it opens most formats--it gives and error when trying to open your file, even though the WMP seems ok with it.

Update: Actually, I just noticed that the bit-depth of your sound file is set at 4-bit. Try opening it and exporting it as an 8 or 16-bit format and see if that resolves it. I think 4-bit and maybe also 32-bit) are out of range for DirectRT.

I was having a similar problem and resaved all of the wav files at a 16 bit rate. Everything is working great now! Thanks!

You were right. The problem was the 4-bit format. It works great with
16-bit.

Thanks
