Atop Seid Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I am asking this in this forum as I am unsure as to where else I can obtain assistance with this issue.I possess a series of Wave files that I intend to upload but, for reasons unknown to me, Second Life does not seem to support their format.Earlier this year I was using a Windows XP computer with a built-in simple sound editing tool, which allowed me to specifically save the file as Wave with PCM WAV format, 16-bit, 44.1kHz, mono. Since I got my new computer (Windows 7), I have been attempting to use Audacity to convert more of these particular sounds. However, when saving them as PCM Wave format, I find that Second Life simply cannot upload them, stating "File does not appear to be a supported sample rate (must be 44.1k)"Audacity allows me to change the sample rate to 44.1kz, but no 44.1kHz. I am assuming that this is part of the problem. Any assistance with this issue would be most appreciated.Kind regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arton Rotaru Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 You should be able to set the rate in the lower left corner of Audacity. Project Rate (Hz) 44100, and export it as wav. Also make sure that your sound clips are not longer than 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake1 Nightfire Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 As Arton said , the bottom left corner has the project sample rate setting dropdown. If i may ask, why mono? just copy the sound and paste it and make it stereo. It will sound better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atop Seid Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Many thanks for the replies. However, as I stated, it appears I can only change the sample rate to Hz instead of kHz (although I accidentally said kz instead of hz in the original post). I am fairly certain that this is the issue. Could I be using the wrong version of Audacity? According to Torley Linden's video on uploading sounds (at least from what I can gather), these things should be taken care of automatically when saving. But as I stated, I still cannot upload sounds. (Also, when I do set the sample rate to 44.1hz, the sound becomes shortened and high-pitched.)

Down in the bottom left corner of audacity is a project rate dropdown.. set that to 44100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atop Seid Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Oh, THAT rate dropdown. I had not realized. Thank you immensely for your assistance. All it seems to be working fine now. Thank you again, and salutations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
