playback stops after one-half second

Post by khackbarth » Thu Oct 01, 2009 5:07 pm

I am trying to edit a wav but can't seem to play it or save/export it. When I try to play it playback starts but then immediately terminates after a fraction of a second. Exporting produces a zero second file. Editing itself seems to function, though without playback it is hard to tell.

The file plays fine in Windows Media Player.

Thanks,
Ken

Audacity doesn't recognize most of the highly compressed internet file formats. You'll need to convert the file in Super or Switch to WAV which Audacity can understand.
