.wma playing slowly

(1/4) > >>

conibear:
Large .wma files (17mb +/-) , bit rate 32kbps play very slowly and distorted.

Everything seems to install ok, and I tried both the release build (9/23) and todays (10/1) ... Sansa e250 ... small .wma files work ok.

fiddling with the pitch makes the file understandable but it still sounds strange.   

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

[edit] after some tests it doesnt' seem to be the size but how the file is encoded.

saratoga:
The size of the file doesn't matter, but rather how you encoded it.  Feel free to post a sample on the bug tracker, or a link here.

conibear:
I posted a sample on the bug tracker (FS#9439)

Did some testing, and yes, the file size does not matter.  WMA files re-encoded to 20, 32, or 37 kbps from other .wma files are messed up on Rockbox, but play ok on other devices.  A 37 kbps wma re-encoded from an .mp3 song played at normal speed but had some static blips.  My original files are 0ver-drive media files.

Perhaps the problem is the same as this problem.

The cause wma frequency as for 22khz is because is it.

conibear:
Yes, I think you are right. The problem seems to be more with the sampling rate than the bit rate. File size does not matter. Very discouraging; the audio books I download from my library all seem to be encoded at that sampling rate..
