[SoX-users] sox adding noize when file smashing

[Robert F. <cap...@gm...>]

Hi Yall,
I'm using sox to convert and downgrade audio files to 8bit 8khz mono wav
files ( Microsoft PCM and IMA ADPCM encodings ) to be used in a hardware
device, which is only programmed to read those two formats.

Test input file is 16bit 44.1khz WAV

I'm currently using..
> sox input.wav -s -1 -r8000 -c1 output1.wav stat
and
> sox input.wav -s -1 -r8000 -c1 output_.wav stat

When I listen to the files afterwards, I can hear static in the background.
How can I eliminate this?
When using GUI tools to do the transformation, they don't have the static I
hear from SoX
sox -version reports..  sox: v13.0.0
