(resurrecting old thread)

I tried to export 16bit WAV to 8bit signed IFF but looks like after conversion the file is 8bit WAV (with .iff extension).

It seems to work OK for me.
Here's a signed 8-bit IFF file created with Audacity 2.1.2. The .WAV extension is so that the forum board will accept it.
test-chirp.wav
(1.26 MiB) Downloaded 24 times
The correct length of this file is 30 seconds. It can be decoded as signed 16-bit, but then it plays an octave too high for 15 seconds.

no it doesn't play in ProTracker, its 'dumb' (because it's still WAV).
Protracker supports only iff,raw and 8svx.

The file I posted is certainly not a WAV file (despite the .wav file extension). Try viewing the file in a hex editor.

Perhaps you would have more success exporting as RAW (?)

export to RAW works fine.

I can export to IFF in Goldwave but I can't do it in Audacity.
