Help! Cannot use Monkeys Audio codec

[Ffabbia]

Hi there.

I've been attempting to convert a 32 bit wav file to Ape format using the Monkeys Audio Codec.

Upon attempting to do so, I get the following message :

The CODEC required to decompress <filename.wav> could not be opened.
ACM Codec Not Installed 'IEEE Float'

I am unable to locate any reference to this 'ACM' codec on the DBPowerAMP website, or Codec central.

This 'ACM' codec is mentioned on several (other) web sites, and apparently available for download, however the download never appears to contain any obvious setup files, and instead appears to consist of an .inf file. I am uncertain as to how to procede.

I have uninstalled Music Converter, and all associated codecs, and re-installed the latest version, however this has not resolved the problem.

I have also attempted to download and install the actual Monkeys Audio software from their home page, (just on the off chance). No joy...and the conversion programme supplied with this software does not work either.

I am likely overlooking something really obvious here, but I would be greatful for any assistance in this matter.

Thank you.

What created the wave file? can you send me a small example of such wave file (less than 6MB) to :

Thanks very much. The wav is a mixdown created using CoolEdit Pro 2.

I'll send you a snippet as you suggested as soon as I am able.

We are having the same problem with wav mix downs from audition (created from Cool Edit). And I'm only (trying to) make mp3's (lame).

Re: Help! Cannot use Monkeys Audio codec

why not just export the wav in 24bit or 16bit?

(topic should be 'cant open 32bit floating point pcm/wav files')
