muffled audio [SOLVED]

[eep]

Audio files (wav, mp3, ogg) lose amplitude and upper frequencies in PTE. They are recorded and edited in Audacity. OS is Mac Ventura 13. I've not been able to resolve this issue.

Hi,

Can you send us 1-2 audio files which have this problem?

Can you compare sound quality of your audio files in PTE with playback in QuickTime, or VLC player?

I attach my audio file. Can you compare it on your Mac in PTE and in QuickTime, or in another audio editor/player?

Howdy,

Thanks for the reply. In fact, I had just tried the files in QuickTime and they sound bad rendered there, also. Your file sounds good. The issue may lie with Audacity, which renders the audio satisfactorily. I've tried several recording settings without any improvement. Arrrghh.

Ed, 

It seems that the problem with sound recording in Audacity.

Probably other members will help you solve this problem. We don't use Audicity on Mac.

Hi Ed. What version of Audacity are you using, I use 2.4.2. I heard there was some problem with later versions so I didn't up-date. Rosy

Thank you Igor and Rosy. It turns out that, yes, the issue lies with Audacity. I re-installed that program (update to v 3.2.2) and the problem seems to be resolved. 

Be well and thanks again [tips hat],
