Reply to "Playing .mth Sound Files on your PC"

1. If the "Data" column is red, that means my program has determined that the clip is 24 bit big endian PCM otherwise its 4 bit ADPCM. When you press the [Play] button, the program will play it that way. Be sure to turn on "[X] Automatic Settings" to have the program play the clip after taking its best guess at the format. (I should make this the default as the program has actually gotten pretty good at this guess.) You can always override the program by picking Level/Format/Rate explicitly using the radio buttons.

2. The engines are pretty smart, they can play any sound 1-255 if commanded to do so. Unfortunately, the M*H remote only has the ability to command some of them - for example, SXS is sound 42, the horn/whistle is sound 152, SFS is sound 43, S01-S10 are sounds 177-186.

My computer program, Remote Train Control (on my web site), can command all 255 sounds.

Mark,

Perfect! That is what I assumed. So here is the issue I have: I posted this in another thread, but your program is helping me troubleshoot this. My engine sound clips S02 through S09 play static when I select them on the DCS remote. I downloaded the engine sound file from MTH and loaded it in your program. Those clips are highlighted red with data values of 0x93 for each. However, they play static with the 24 bit setting and play correctly with the 4 bit setting. It seems the engine is seeing this the same way your program is. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Another oddity is that those sound clips appear to be the clips that play for Passenger/Freight Announcements (PFA). PFA plays correctly on the engine. Also, S01 and S10 work correctly on the engine and in your program.

Thanks again for the help!
