It seems to me that soundfiler accepts only some types of wav-files. I can only read the pd/doc/sounds/voice.wav to an array but not my own files.
Soundfiler-help says:
The [soundfiler] object reads and writes floating point arrays to binary soundfiles which may contain 2 or 3 byte fixed point or 4 byte floating point samples in wave, aiff, or next formats (no floating point aiff, though.).
I don't understand what that means. How can I get the right wav-files?

Hi sinewave,
this was the point. Thank you very much!

but with windows mediaplayer it sounds good and it isn't quit at all. How is this possible?
Does the quality of the normalization depends on the soundcard of the computer?

I normalizied the file with
[read -resize die.wav bla(
|
[;
bla normalize(
|
[soundfiler(
because I don't know what is for. Now it works, but it sounds awful. You must hear someone wispering but it's just noise.
Thanks for your help so far.

here is my soundfile. Thanks for your efforts.

I don't get any errors if the wav-file is in the same folder than the patch.
What about mp3-files? Then I get the error "unknown or bad header format".
I send my patch but I just copied it from a tutorial.

Hello I have trouble with playing audio files from array too. It works with pd/doc/sound/voice.wav but not with my own files. Please help me.
