SND0 sounds a bit pitched up

[AceJoyBro]

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I set my .wav file to be 16bit/44100/Stereo but on the XMB it sounds a bit pitched and speed up. I want to add a SND0 for XMB for the NTSC version of Metal Gear Solid in case that helps, and I used Adobe Audition to convert the file to the specifications above and .wav

I see this is NTSC version of the game. Can you try the very latest version? I fixed an issue with NTSC audio a while back.

Also, you don't need to convert the audio anymore. It should happen automatically now. Just give it an audiofile in any format (or just provide a youtube link instead of a file name)

The problem still persists. I tried the latest version with the fix for RAYMAN but it still sounds pitched up. Every time I use a YouTube link it says this:

Renderer name: dict_keys(['reelShelfRenderer']) Search term: METAL GEAR SOLID encounter ps1 ost Please open an issue at https://github.com/pytube/pytube/issues and provide this log output.

And after I press "Create PKG" it says this:

Oddly enough, when I select my WAV file it doesn't give the same error but this:

The first case where it fetches the audio fro youtube does not look like an error. This text "WARNING: ATRAC3 is uncompleted, result will be not good )))" is from the converter software, atracdenc, and is normal. It is just an indication that AT3 is a proprietary format and atracdenc is a reverse engineered implementation of it that is not hi-fi quality. The audio is still more than adequate for xmb background music.

The second seem like a genuine error. The conversion from userprovided WAV files is limited and really only implements as much as is needed to convert the files that ffmpeg produces, hence I think the complaints about the unknown chunk types. Make sure to use a commandline like this to create the wav files: ffmpeg -i Azure\ Dreams\ OST\ 3.\ Overture.3gp -ar 44100 -ac 2 Azure\ Dreams\ OST\ 3.\ Overture.wav that should ensure they are in a good format that the conversion can handle.

I am pretty terrible at hearing issues with adio but when I encode MGS using the youtupe aduio the results do sound good to me. But that could just be I am terrible at hearing these issues.

You could try to tweak the bitrate that ffmpeg generates in the example above to something slightly higher/lower and see what works best. -ar 41000 ?

I tried the method you mentioned but the exact same stuff happened. It was the same pitch and speed like before. This is what the console says in case it's helpful.

Apparently, it solved the chunk problem but the high pitch is still there

[sahlberg]

Can you try the artefact on this page: https://github.com/sahlberg/pop-fe/actions/runs/4080406151

I slow it down by 9% I think it might have been a 44200 vs 40100 Hz issue

[sahlberg]

Fixed in latest version of pop-fe.

[AceJoyBro]

For me it's partially fixed. The speed normal but the pitch is still higher than usual. I don't really know how to show you the result on the XMB but if you do, please let me know.
