Uploading Sound

[lilac3217]

When I try to upload a sound onto SL it says this "Unknown Vorbis encode failure" and its a .wav file... Also its about 3 seconds long :/ Any ideas?

Make sure the format and sample rate are correct (16-bit with 44.1kHz sample rate). File should be mono. 

Sound files must be:

• WAV files in standard PCM format.
• 16-bit with 44.1kHz sample rate.
• Mono format.  Stereo format will be automatically converted to mono.
• Ten seconds or less in length.

Formats that don't work include MP3s or WAVs in 8-bit, 22.05 kHz, or any other frequency. You can convert sounds into the proper format using an audio editor like the free Audacity, or a specialized app like r8brain for Windows.

To upload a sound:

1. Choose Build > Upload > Sound (L$10).
2. Choose a valid .WAV file.
3. Optionally enter a text description.
4. Click Upload (L$10).
