WAVE Sample Files
The following are WAVE files with various data types.
- The files marked with an asterisk (*) will not play with Windows Media Player.
- The file marked with a plus sign (+) plays as noise with Windows Media Player.
Sample Files from CopyAudio
The CopyAudio program (part of the AFsp package) can produce output files of a number of different types. Samples files produced by converting stereo 16-bit data are as follows. All of these files have information chunks at the end of the file after the sampled data.
- WAVE file, stereo A-law data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo A-law data (FL FR).
- WAVE file, stereo µ-law data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo µ-law data (FL FR).
- WAVE file, stereo unsigned 8-bit data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo unsigned 8-bit data (FL FR).
- WAVE file, stereo 12/16-bit data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo 12/16-bit data.
- WAVE file, stereo 16-bit data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo 16-bit data (FL FR).
- WAVE file, stereo 24-bit data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo 24-bit data.
- WAVE file, stereo 32-bit data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo 32-bit data.
- WAVE file, stereo 32-bit float data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo 32-bit float data (FL FR).
- WAVE file, stereo 64-bit float data.
- WAVE ( WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE) file, stereo 64-bit float data (FL FR).

Sample Files from GoldWave
The following file were created by Goldwave. The µ-law and A-law formats differ slightly from those produced by CopyAudio (The ITU-T standard is permissive as to which way to quantize sample values which fall exactly mid-way between output values.)
- WAVE file, A-law data.
- WAVE file, µ-law data.
- WAVE file, GSM compressed data (format code 0x0031).

Perverse Files
The following WAVE files are perverse or have problems.
- WAVE file (9 samples) with an odd length intermediate chunk (type " XxXx").
- WAVE file with trailing junk after the RIFF chunk.
Pmiscck.wav (1 kB)
Ptjunk.wav (1 kB)
- WAVE file with a RIFF chunk length larger than the file size (originally from www.sipro.com).
- WAVE file, PCM data, with a Fact chunk following the data. The Fact chunk contains the four characters " FILT" and not the number of samples. (From C:/WINNT/Media on a Windows 2000 system).
