I'm desperate for some 'timmy' wavs...I have a wav editor, but both it and 'real player' can't play the wave files I have downloaded off various web pages.
Windows Media player WILL play them, but doesn't give me the ability to crop the sound byte down to the piece I need.
Will someone please tell me why? How to fix? Or at least post a wav of 'Timmy!' that I could try?
Thanks,
Lars
Try Windows Sound Recorder as a very basic way to edit wave files.
crop
thanks, but that can't decode it either...if anyone has a wav of timmy please post!
Thanks
Lars

We're not supposed to post binary files (non-text) here; I don't even know if they would go through. Acknowledge here that you have access to alt.binaries.southpark and I'll post a bunch there in a ZIP file. Alternatively, you can email me your real email address and I'll email them directly to you. I have no idea why you can't "decode" the files. Sounds very odd indeed.

Well, after looking carefully at my Timmy "WAVs" -- it turns out that they were posted incorrectly with the WAV extension. They are actually MP3 files. Media Player doesn't care because it can read both types and just plays them without telling you that the extension WAV is technically wrong. I'll post them in the binaries group anyway, but be advised that you will need to convert them to a true WAV file before you can edit them with a WAV editor. You can see the actual file type if you right-click on the file and select Properties. One of the tabs will show you that the file is actually in the MP3 format. I don't really care about the MP3 scene, so I can't direct you to the correct tool to use, but I'm sure others here will know what to do to convert an MP3 to a WAV, even using freeware.
As an extremely cumbersome way to edit MP3s renamed first to WAV, open the file with Sound Recorder. (On my system, the play button *does* appear, but the wave does not appear in the small wave display window.) Convert using File_Properties and the Convert tool there. Convert to the PCM format. You can change the quality setting at this time if desired. (Don't know if this is really necessary, but first save the file and reopen it in Sound Recorder.) Play the file. You should now see the WAV window display (you know, the green line that moves with sound). Press the STOP button where you want to cut before or after. Those options are under the Edit menu (Delete before current position, delete after current position.).
Remember, I am posting the MP3 files that are misnamed as WAV files. You still need to convert them to true WAV before editing them, at least with a WAV editor. If there is an MP3 editor, I don't know about it. But then again, I don't know hardly anything about MP3s except how to play them.

Do you have your audio device configured properly?
Go to Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > System > Device Manager (a tab) > Sound, Video, and game controller (a category). An x over the icon of any device means the device is disabled. An exclamation point means the device has a problem.
Go to Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Multimedia. Make sure you have a device listed, and the proper one for your sound card listed under the Audio tab, Playback - Preferred Device.

This isn't a situation about someone's PC not working. He just wanted to edit some South Park WAVs with a wave editor. However, they turned out not to be really WAVs, but MP3s. That's all that happened.
