Hi folks.

Do any of you have experience loading Wave files into Sound Forge or Sonar as Raw audio? I did this once before and restored a corrupt file, but this was at least a couple years ago.

Background: I accidentally deleted some files on a memory card, which I was able to restore with a free undelete utility. then, I used a tiny program called fixwav to varify the files were stereo, and the correct bit depth and sampling rate. However, listening to them, I get what sounds like white noise at full volume.

Looking at Sound Forge's RAW audio options, I can specify header and trailer values, default for both is 0. Any idea what these should be set to, or what values to try first?

And, any idea what "little indian, Intel" and "big Indian, motorola" refer to?

Thanks for any ideas.

Chris

P.S. The two tools mentioned above are very good to have around, just in case! The freeUndelete utility works great and is from:

Fixwav is a free commandline utility, at least the version I have is. I have not tested version 1.1 yet, available from:
