Hi Para96,
The sound files you provided us are actually both the same length (0.237 seconds).
Here’s info about the working file:
File name TerminalBeepExtendedWorking.wav
File size 0.05 MB (41,920 bytes)
File type Wave (Microsoft)
Audio format Uncompressed
Audio sample rate 44,100
Audio bit rate 1,411 Kbps
Audio bit depth 16 bit
Audio channels 2 (Stereo)
Audio length 00:00:00.237 (10,469 samples)
Here’s info about the not working file:
File name TerminalBeepNotWorking.wav
File size 0.07 MB (66,284 bytes)
File type Wave (Microsoft)
Audio format Uncompressed
Audio sample rate 44,100
Audio bit rate 2,116 Kbps
Audio bit depth 24 bit
Audio channels 2 (Stereo)
Audio length 00:00:00.237 (10,469 samples)
The difference is that makes it work vs not work is the working sound file is 16-bit encoded and the not working file is 24-bit encoded. My guess is your export settings in audacity are set to export wav files at 16 bit.
If you look at your log output on the failed import, you should see the proper error message. Will look something like this:
“Currently, only 16 bit WAV files are supported (Name of your file here).”
In general that pop-up dialog that happens on failed import isn’t as informative as it could be. Always check the log output for more information.
