[SoX-users] .ogg to IMA-ADPCM .wav sounds horrible. Any ideas?

[Michael B. <mb...@hi...>]

Hi folks,

I'm new to this list and I've run out of ideas for converting some files I have.

I've got some .ogg files and am trying to convert them to .wav files (using IMA-ADPCM). When I do it in Audacity, it sounds fine, but through sox, it sounds horrible with a crackling in the right ear.

Here is what the Audacity parameters look like:

Format: Uncompressed Files
Options:
 Header: WAV (Microsoft)
 Encoding: IMA ADPCM

And here is what I'm doing with sox:

  sox --norm=-3 music.ogg -e ima-adpcm music.wav

The audacity file sounds great and it is the sox that has the cracklings.

Any ideas as to why I might get this horrible sound?

Thanks in advance,

_ michael
