warcraft map doesnt support 16 bit mp3??

[gameguard007]

Hello there i am replacing a an old mod with a new larger file MOD but in turn it increases the in file size so I reduced the mp3 file by changing its bit rate to 16. I tested the mp3 file and it sounds great but the problem is that in the game the sound is distorted. Any explanations?

Yeah seems like the decoder isn't supporting it.
Try using a lower bitrate instead.

Upload the .mp3, and I'll lower the bit rate.

Bart hello there, I have already lowered these mp3 files to 16 bit and it sounds fine, but when i put it in the map it sounds like a shrieking sound. These are the mp3 files. http://rapidshare.de/files/40778374/Lam ... s.rar.html

Have you tried other people listening to it, ingame? It might be your Warcraft, for some odd, random reason. Or it might be that the bitrate is TOO low...

Yep Bart its definitely that warcraft III doesn't support 16 bit rate. It really does sound fine but when integrating it in game it sounds like shriek. Anyway thanks for the assisstance.
