XXHighEnd

I have a problem playing some FLAC files.  These are files downloaded from collector sites, rips of old LPs or 78s.  Sometimes they are m4a format so I convert them to flac with dbpoweramp using DSP plugins to ensure proper bit rate etc.  But in XXHighEnd they play at chipmunk speed.  Why are they not playing at the proper speed, and what can I use to convert them properly so they will play?  I can use the Q button to view the file info but I'm not sure what I should be looking for.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Hi,

Maybe this is the first time that I hear of something like this while being FLAC decoded. This should mean that the FLAC encoder itself must fail on you in this situation.
What happens when you encode to FLAC in Foobar ?

Btw, I'd say that you shouldn't try to influence any bit rate as such - this should be fine to begin with. So maybe that is just causing the problem ?

Lastly, I can imagine that the same files play fine elsewhere, but this doesn't tell much as "we" (software player developers) must apply the largest tricks everywhere to let play files right because they can be so wrong in the header data. So just saying ...

I tried a simple conversion and that didn't help, so I tried dbpoweramp with DSP plugins and that didn't help either.  I'll try Foobar.

Yes, they play fine in other software. :-)  Maybe I'll load one and post the numbers so you can see.  They are not from the same source, either, two different bloggers that post rips.

I found the problem.  They were mono flacs.  I converted to 2 channel with DSP and that solved the problem. 

Ha !

But true, XXHighEnd officially does not support Mono. 2 times the same channel data of course Yes.
