<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve just experienced a problem with a WAV file, and I’m wondering if anyone has ever experienced anything similar. One of my WAV files appears to have gone silent about 60% of the way through. (Luckily, I have a backup copy, so nothing
has been lost.) I know the file worked perfectly fine as of last week, as I transcribed it in ELAN in its entirety with no problem. When I went to open the file in ELAN today, though, part of it was just silent; the transcriptions were all still there, but
they were just time-aligned to silence. I opened the offending WAV file in both Audacity and Windows Media Player and found that the problem persisted in both instances.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Like I said, nothing has really been lost—I just copied over the backup copy and relinked the ELAN file to that one. But does anyone have any idea why such a thing might have happened?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<br>
