Conversion of Audio Format

Question

I am having trouble in converting the audio format of a WAV file.

I am recording sound from my microphone and the sound is recorded in the following format: PCM_SIGN

Answer 1

This class may help you. I found it here:

package uk.co.mmscomputing.sound;

import java.io.*;

public class CompressInputStream extends FilterInputStream{

  /*
    Convert mono PCM byte stream into A-Law u-Law byte stream

    static AudioFormat alawformat= new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.ALAW,8000,8,1,1,8000,false);
    static AudioFormat ulawformat= new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.ULAW,8000,8,1,1,8000,false);

    PCM 8000.0 Hz, 16 bit, mono, SIGNED, little-endian
    static AudioFormat pcmformat = new AudioFormat(8000,16,1,true,false);

  */

  static private Compressor alawcompressor=new ALawCompressor();
  static private Compressor ulawcompressor=new uLawCompressor();

  private Compressor compressor=null;

  public CompressInputStream(InputStream in, boolean useALaw)throws IOException{
    super(in);
    compressor=(useALaw)?alawcompressor:ulawcompressor; 
  }

  public int read()throws IOException{
    throw new IOException(getClass().getName()+".read() :\n\tDo not support simple read().");
  }

  public int read(byte[] b)throws IOException{
    return read(b,0,b.length);
  }

  public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len)throws IOException{
    int     i,sample;
    byte[]  inb;

    inb=new byte[len<<1];          // get 16bit PCM data
    len=in.read(inb);
    if(len==-1){return -1;};

    i=0;
    while(i>1;
  }
}

abstract class Compressor{
  protected abstract int compress(short sample);    
}
