Auto Music has no sound

[rogeriototh]

You cannot open Smartsound files with Audacity, they are not your usual
WAV, MPEG, AIFF, AU or OGG Vorbis sound files.

Smartsound files are to sound, what UFO files are to graphics - i.e. you need PhotoImpact to open a UFO file.

The standalone application for opening Smartsound files is SonicFire Pro.
Smartsound files are small chunks of code of varying lengths and encoded to define these chunks as being either a beginning, middle or end.
When you generate a piece of smartsound of x minutes and seconds, it grabs a number of these blocks to create something of the required length - bit like building with lego bricks.

By the way, after what you said, I decided to do a double check on what I did with Audacity. Again, I could listen to the music using Audacity (it imports the SDS file into Audacity as WAV) and I can listen to the music, also including the the pieces that are added to the end of the track for style variations. For the tracks I have no sound I see a flat line in Audacity.

I am using Audacity version 1.2.6.

It reinforces my theory that I have bad files instead of bad program.

So, my question keep stands, how can I get the Quicktracks files again?

Thanks

This tends to suggest you have a corrupted Content Pack.
Perhaps you need to download it again.

Yeah, I will try that again (I've done that before).

Quick question not related to the thread: Are you guys users like me or Ulead (Corel) employees?

Thank you!

We are all volunteers. One, or perhaps two, Corel/Ulead employees visit the Forum only very occasionally. But the rest of us are just users like everyone else, and scattered around the world too.

I have no sound at all when I try to play music or insert music in VS. Any suggestions? Incidentally I have downloaded the 22K files several times, and everytime it gives -2166 errors during installation.

Did you try the fixes suggested at the outset of this thread (to do with the version of QuickTime installed)? Have you gone to the www.smartsound.com website and applied the patch available there? Have you looked at our compilation of possible fixes, also mentioned earlier in this thread, and available at http://phpbb.ulead.com.tw/EN/viewtopic. ... 5666#65666 ?

The problem was identified by SmartSound support as an incompatibility between the SmartSound quicktracks plugin 3.0.6.0 and the older version of the music file "Full Spectrum 22K". He gave me a URL at SmartSound to download a different music file "FullSpectrum22K" and installing that solved my problem.

So apprently you need SmartSound 3.0.6.0 to be compatible with modern QuickTime 7.0 and higher, and then you need a new music file to be compatible with the new SmartSound.

Hope this helps someone!
