MSIVST Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I'm having an issue where I cannot decode/play .wav files that are 24bits or more. The file I'm having issues with is: Sample rate : 48000 Hz Channels : 2 Bits per sample : 24 Bitrate : 2304 kbps Codec : PCM_S24LE; PCM signed 24-bit little-endian Size: 759 MB (796 188 836 bytes) The file plays fine on my Win10 PC in various programs, just not in WavePad -->> I get a garbled waveform https://i.imgur.com/YU59ACp.png and no audio output. If the file is a 24bit FLAC or WavPack, it decodes fine in WavePad and I can load/play/edit it. If the file is 16bits, I can load/play/edit it fine. Just not 24bit .wavs! Are there any suggestions?

Jsalgado Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Are you having this issue just with this one file? If you do, we might need to ask for that file for us to check, please open a support ticket here: https://www.nch.com.au/support/supportcontact.html?software=WavePad&support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSIVST Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Thank you for the reply! Not just one file, but any 24bit .wav files. FLAC and WV files that are 24bit seem to be unaffected. I'm running an AMD 4600H on an HP 87B0 board with Realtek High-Definition Audio; UAD Driver v6.0.8975.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSIVST Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Update for those who are having the same issue; I had to uninstall version 10.79, and then install version 11.17 of WavePad to be able to read/edit/play 24bit .wav files!
