Looks like it. Is it the case?

[SLUG] qustion about audacity.

2004-07-14 Thread Bill Bennett
I've installed audacity to edit a couple of files that
contain chat *and* music.

It's trying to tell me something.

I append the error message.

Can anyone help? More to the point, can anyone suggest a
fix?

Regards,

Bill Bennett.

The error message:---

Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: warning - requested sample rate = 96000 Hz - closest = 46790
Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: HW does not support 96000 Hz sample rate
Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: warning - requested sample rate = 96000 Hz - closest = 46790
Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: HW does not support 96000 Hz sample rate

Hi Bill.

It's just saying your soundcard doesn't support 96khz sampling...
"HW does not support 96000 Hz sample rate"
HW = Hardware

"closest = 46790"
You soundcard probably only goes up to 46.7Khz

Do you have SB Live! or something to that effect? I think the Audigy's support 96khz.

This should not effect Audacity *if* the file you wish to work on/record is be at a lower rate.

Is the soundfile you're working on 96khz? What was it recorded on? If
it is, you might have to convert it down to 44.1Khz. 

I know you can convert the sample rate in the later Audacity versions,
but I'm not sure it will allow you to load it at all if your sample 
rate is higher than what your hardware supports. If it doesn't you may
need to drop the sample rate down on the hardware it was originally
recorded on before loading it in to Audacity.

Good luck,
- Mal

Hey Bill,

What kind of file is it and how was it recorded?


Bill Bennett wrote:

  Many thanks for the reply.

I'm a bit puzzled about something here.

The disk is a radio programme that contains (a) chat and
(b) music. I want the (b).

The disk holds one (giant) file that, I guess, I'll have
to upload from the CD reader.

Why can't I just use cp (ie., copy)

Regards,

Bill.
