Re: [SoX-users] sox adding noize when file smashing

[D. S. <new...@gm...>]

I think I'm getting the same thing when I try to use an 8-bit output
format. Static that enters.in.  Also happens when I convert  to .au
with -1 ... but -2 sounds fine.  I can provide  .wav file examples if
needed.


Also ... noticing that the -s seems to be ignored for 8-bit ... or
play isn't seeing it right. Even though -s is given, still play says
it is unsigend.
