Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] wav file source question

[Marcus Müller]

Hi fffdddoo (is that really the name by which we should address you?),

I'm guessing you try to save audio directly from the audio source to a
wav file, right?

So, my blind guess is that Baokum wrongly configured the audio source
and simply nothing came out of it.
For example, no soundcard normally uses a sampling rate of 32kHz. A
typical rate is 44.1kHz.

You might want to check your console output for errors. Most of the
time, the audio sink complains about things like the device name not
working or something else going wrong; this all depends very much on
which operating system you use GNU Radio.
Do you get any errors?

Of course, when using a file_sink you don't generate a wav file, that's
why we have the WAV sink :)

Best regards,
Marcus
