Sound causes alice to go bellyside up

[Slayer2520]

Okay so I have been using Alice for the past semester of school and just recently it decided that it does not want to accept sounds of any format. I only know of .wav and .mp3 being accepted but everytime i try to run a program with a sound in it it crashes and gives me the error message that follows.

Error during simulation.




Alice version: 2.2 6/10/2009



Throwable that caused the error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Requested value 7.9588003 exceeds allowable maximum value 6.0206.

vaporizer questions

ok that is way to green for me to read

[x2495iiii]

It says there's a value which exceeds a maximum. I think that means it's too high quality for Alice's sound importer to handle. Can your reduce the sampling rate on the sound file?

ok i got it your sound exceeds the limit in the program:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Requested value 7.9588003 exceeds allowable maximum value 6.0206.

ok x2495iiii got it before i replied

[Slayer2520]

There no more green.

So dropping the sound quality with something like Audacity should work right? =D

Yup

[Slayer2520]

It's still not working can anyone give me a specific way to lower the quality?

You can use a converter like media-convert.com where you can choose the file format that you want to export your music as and lower the file size.

[Slayer2520]

so simply lowering the bitrate or compressing the .wav or .mp3 is not working. I have even tried to shorten the length of the sound as well. None prevail the value does not change and it continues to crash Alice.
