kevkmartin Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Another issue I've recently come to see and wonder if others have seen. I created ten additional voice announcements and for what ever reason the volume is (approx) 30~40% lower than the existing ones in place?!? Has anyone else seen this while creating new Julie U.S. voices? I had considered there was a problem on the little netbook I was using so went to another work station but the results were the same. I than went to another work station and the results were also the same! If anyone has a recommendation for a sound level normalizer program let me know because this is super annoying. Use mp3gain to normalize all of the mp3 files. http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net Edited September 16, 2017 by kevkmartin
Teken Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Use mp3gain to normalize all of the mp3 files. http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net Appreciate the extra software resources. Thanatar offered a built in amplify solution within the Audacity software platform. It took a few minutes of playing around to understand how it works. Afterwards, it was rinse and repeat for the 400 plus voice announcements!
Bill Morrow Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 HELP!!!! ? I'm adding a bunch of new sounds, but the first one I added will not play. The Network Resource tests OK, but nothing is played. I just copied an existing NR and updated the file name. I tried both Wav and Mp3. Yes, the file is in the folder. Any bright ideas?

OK, there is something wrong with the new sound files. I copied one of the old sound files to the new file name and tested the new Network Resource and it works. But the files play standalone just fine. I guess it could be a volume issue? I have tried both .wav and .mp3.
Bill Morrow Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 OK, I reconverted all of the wav files with a different converter and all is well again. Weird the other format won't play on OpenElec.
ELA Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Hello BM, You issue sounded familiar so I checked my notes. They said that if the bit rate was less than 44100 it would not play. Been a while though. Might try looking at that?
