I was attempting to hook up the new audio API to play a .wav file. However, I have noticed that Skype will only play wav files which you have created using Skype(i.e. SET_INPUT). This happens regardless of whether or not the file you are attempting to play is of the same quality of one made by Skype. Skype produces a 16khz, 16bit, mono PCM wav file.

Does anyone know how to make it play a file not created in Skype.

Hello,

In general all audio files, which meet the requirements, should have no problems.
The following audio formats are acceptable:
· file: WAV PCM
· sockets: raw PCM samples
· 16KHz, mono, 16-bit

(Above is from Developer Notes)

If there are some files, which do not seem to work, please file a Jira issue about it and add the examples of those files, so that our people could investigate futher.

Best Regards,

I've also been suffering from the same problem.

These are the properties of a wav file I recorded using the Skype API:

Sample rate: 16,000
Bit depth: 16bit
Channels: Mono
Source: 16,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono
Process/DSP: 16,000 Hz, 64 Bit (IEEE Float), Mono
Playback: 16,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono
Sample value: 936
Sound data size: 0.31MB (315,520 bytes)

I then loaded this wav file into Sony Sound Forge and saved it using the required settings (16,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono):

Sample rate: 16,000
Bit depth: 16bit
Channels: Mono
Source: 16,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono
Process/DSP: 16,000 Hz, 64 Bit (IEEE Float), Mono
Playback: 16,000 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono
Sample value: 936
Sound data size: 0.31MB (315,520 bytes)

Note that it is exactly the same as the original wav file. However, this new file will not play via Skype. Grr!!

Please file a Jira issue about this as otherwize it's very hard to track it later.
