Hello all,
I'm sure I've seen this problem mentioned before (not getting any hits when searching though), and to be honest, I thought I'd seen the last of it, but every so often, when trying to play a sound file using readsf~ I get the error message "unknown or bad header format". What's worse is that PD (or my sound card? Hammerfall PCMCIA) then proceeds to play full amplitude noise instead of the sound file.
I'm running PD on Windows XP on a Pentium 4. Does anyone know why this happens or more to the point, how it can be avoided? It doesn't happen often, but even once in a while is bad news for concerts.
Thanks for any help,
Michael
