To make it easier for my Dad to watch a favourite TV show, I download it and then open it with WavePad in order to amplify the volume. The most recent episodes, however, behave oddly: a one hour show appears to be anything up to 3 hours when in WavePad and the playback is a muffled mess. The audio is as per the heading but I can't recall what it was when I was having no problems.
Any idea what the issue is and how to get round it?

I’m using CUETools to extract FLAC files from CUE+FLAC pairs. After extraction I get this message:

cue: AR: offset 12, rip accurate (23/84), CTDB: verified OK, confidence 295.

Can I make sure the extracted FLAC files are identical with the original CDs? ]]> Audio blanc https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420233-extracted-files-with-CUETools FFMEPG Picture block too big when converting ALAC to FLAC https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420232-FFMEPG-Picture-block-too-big-when-converting-ALAC-to-FLAC?goto=newpost Sun, 15 Mar 2026 03:02:40 GMT = 16777216e=N/A...]]> I'm trying to convert ALAC to FLAC with metadata copied & no compression using this command

The peculiar problem on this PC, ASUS A320 MK with onboard audio is that just one stream out of all content when selected will not play.
It's just a city council meeting supplied by the media service which processes their meetings. I can go into the other room where I have an older MSI 760gm and the audio will play. It seems very local to just this ASUS A320. Are there realtek updates available that will _simplify_ all the hi rez settings which the screenshot shows ?

Since the two German tracks show the same details, I assume that one is the "real" stereo track and the other one should be mono converted to stereo.


I thought I use FFMPEG with the following command to find out which one is the real stereo track:
Code:
ffmpeg -i input.wav -filter_complex "stereotools=phasel=1" -ac 1 output.wav
I would expect that the converted stereo shows a flat line, while the real stereo shows some differences.

But when I check now the output, I see one German track flat out, and the other two tracks with some wave forms.

For my understanding, the English track should also be flat out, or not?

Am I interpreting the FFMPEG command wrong, or what am I seeing here actually?
