I have a couple of .wav files from a Palm Pilot or possibly an old Windows Pocket PC that are in the format of a .wav RIFF WAVEfmt file. I can't play them, and would like to convert them to some modern, playable format.

Programs tried so far with no luck:

  • VLC
  • Quicktime
  • Windows Media Player
  • Da Vinci Resolve
  • Cool Edit Pro 2.0
  • FFMPEG
  • Max
  • XLD
  • Handbrake
  • Audacity
  • at9tool
  • XMedia Recode
  • Adobe Audition
  • DBPowerAmp Music Converter
  • NCH Switch Sound File Converter
  • pilot-wave (Linux)
  • Goldwave
  • SoX / SoXI
  • Python libraries: wave, soundfile, scipy.io.wavfile

Here are some details on the file:

  • RIFF WAVEfmt
  • Encoding: HP CU
  • Num Channels : 1
  • Sample Rate: 8000
  • Avg Bytes Per Sec: 300
  • Bit Rate: 2404
  • Codec Tag String: [25][0][0][0]
  • Codec Tag: 0x0019

Raw Header: 52 49 46 46 AC 86 00 00 57 41 56 45 66 6D 74 20 28 00 00 00 19 00 01 00 40 1F 00 00 2C 01 00 00 48 00 00 00 16 00 00 20 0A 00 40 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 64 61 74 61 70 86 00 00 D0 F8 00 12 E9 AD B7 44 48 99 C9 59 13 42 D4 EE 84 29 02 98 61 D7 77 A2 17 69 2B 99 A1 2A 52 D2 35 24 19 38 54 B2 24 9B E1 D2 65 3E 59 73 1E 21 4A 53 A1 42 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I believe that it is the type of A.18 on this page: https://www.iana.org/assignments/wave-avi-codec-registry/wave-avi-codec-registry.xhtml

Here is a link to a sample: https://easyupload.io/nbl0tb

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
