C# audio directory issue












0















Alright, I'm developing a speech recognition system which is working completely fine, I've had no problems with it up until now. And yes i did google search it and look to see if the question had already been answered, but nothing turned up.



What I did was save some text-to-speech lines and put them into the program, it worked fine up until about the 5th audio file, I ran it to try and test if it worked and the program crashed with this error:



NotSupportedException: The given path's format is not supported


which is weird because for every other audio file it worked, the code looks like this :



System.Media.SoundPlayer player8 = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(@"‪C:UsersuserDesktopJMAS LINE15.wav");player8.Play();


It's strange because only specific ones work and don't work
Any help would be appreciated

  • So did you verify with some other player (like VLC) that the file is indeed okay?

    (1) You say, “it worked fine up until about the 5th audio file”, and I’m not sure what you mean.  Do you mean that some files consistently work and some files consistently don’t work (this is what you seem to be saying in the next paragraph), or are you saying that, after you have successfully processed four files, the next one fails, no matter which one it is?  (2) I’m intrigued by the message ‘‘The given path's format is not supported’’.  Is it possibly an issue with the files’ names?  Try taking one file that works and one that doesn’t, and renaming them to each other’s names.

  • The exception you got says "The given path's format is not supported". The "given path" here means simply the "given audio file". Thus, the error in other words: "The given audio files's format is not supported". Now, i don't know the limitations of System.Media.SoundPlayer, but clearly it does not accept that particular audio file (maybe it is because the WAV file in question is 32 bit, or has an uncommon channel number, or whatever; i am just speculating here about possible SoundPlayer limitations; perhaps playback of this WAV would demand a codec that's not installed on your machine)
