What program are you playing it in? Does it play correctly in Windows Media Player?

If you exported as 16 bit WAV, then it will be 16 bit.
Does Windows show the file format if you right click on the file and select "Properties"?

Re: convert audacity data to 8 or 16 bit INHX32

I'm not familiar with INHX32, but most of this could be accomplished within Audacity using the built in "Nyquist" programming language. You will find a lot of reference documentation for Nyquist here: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=77214 Normally the Audacity values...

Re: Setting sample rate and bit depth of export

why didn't it save as 16 bit? It probably did, but by default Audacity imports uncompressed audio as 32 bit float. This is intentional as it provides much higher quality audio processing than 16 bit audio, and avoids other potential problems due to the limited range of values for 16 bit integer data.

Re: Manipulating Decibels

Chris's compressor does not work quite like typical compressors. Usually a compressor will have a "threshold" level, where audio above that level is compressed and audio below that level is not compressed. Chris's compressor does not do that, at least not in the conventional sense. In this...

Ensure that your microphone is plugged in and recognised by Windows before you open Audacity. You can check if the microphone is recognised by Windows by looking in the Windows Sound Control Panel . Then look in the device toolbar and ensure that the microphone is selected as the recording input. If...

Re: possible to make this plugin? ("auto draw wave")

If it is a reasonably short mono sound, then you could loop through the samples and compare the sample value with your selected "threshold" level. You would then need to keep a note of the first time and the last time that the threshold was crossed. The sample number divided by the sample ...
