news_mapname.wav refuses to play


(Mlehliw) #1

Whenever I load up my map, go into limbo and press the little play button it gives me this error in the console.

No data chunk in [pathname].wav

I can’t figure out what’s going on, if I use the play command I can hear it just fine, no errors to speak of. :???:

I think I figured out my problem. My wav file is using a sample rate of 11025 hz whereas the wav files in the pak0.pk3 all use sample rates of 22050 hz. Is it possible to double the sample rate in a wav file (if so is there a program I can download to do this?) or do I have to scrap the sound I have and find a new one?

Maybe try using one of the sounds from the original maps, if that works then you know it’s just a problem with ur Wav, just encode it to be the same as the original one.

[Edit: Oh, replied too late… OK just use an audio editor to change ur Wav (CoolEdit, Soundforge, WaveLab, GoldWave, etc etc etc)
