"NoDriver calling acmFormatSuggest" Exception with multi channel wav file #374

Open Ano9506 opened 6 years ago

Ano9506 commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to open a wav file which contains 5 channels of audio (it's a surround sound file) with the audiofilereader class. But at this line of code, I get the NAudio.MMException "NoDriver calling acmFormatSuggest":

Dim reader As New AudioFileReader(File)

After a short research, I found that this error has something to do with mp3 codecs etc., but I only got this error with wav files which contains multiple channels (more than 2).

Have you looked at this? https://markheath.net/post/nodriver-calling-acmformatsuggest

WAV files with more than 2 channels are an extension to the original WAV format. Maybe they need the proper codec. I'm out of my comfort zone on this one. Good luck.

Thanks for your answer. It looks like I missed that fifth option. I will have a look at that
