Re: WAV import of a ZOOM H5 file fails (PCM, 16bit, LE, 44.1

As a matter of interest (and possibly of use to others), what changes did you make to PA? um, apparently nothing useful. I very hopefully copied /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf and added the following settings: default-fragments = 5 default-fragment-size-msec = 2 but it did no...

Re: WAV import of a ZOOM H5 file fails (PCM, 16bit, LE, 44.1

The header is a little unusual for a WAV file, but looks "valid" and works fine here (Debian Wheezy, Audacity 2.1.0). if you copy this test file to the same location as your ZOOM file, does this have the same problem or does it work OK? Your sample also gave me trouble, so I tried running audacity ...

Re: WAV import of a ZOOM H5 file fails (PCM, 16bit, LE, 44.1

I presume from the fact that you qualified your answer that the files have not been copied to your hard drive, so I would suggest that you try the suggestion in my first post.

Re: WAV import of a ZOOM H5 file fails (PCM, 16bit, LE, 44.1

Copy the files to your hard drive first, then check that they play OK in another application (such as Banshee, or whatever your default audio player), then import the hard drive copies into Audacity. um, very kind of you to answer, but did you read my post? 1) I quoted the output of the "file" comm...
