First, please be aware that ACL MX is now rather an "old" version!
Second, do you really mean a sampling frequency of 24kHz, or should that be 44.1? 24 is a very unusual SF and I would be very surprised if most, if not all, Audio Players would stumble when attempting playback.
In order to help you diagnose the problem we really need to know a lot more about your computer and its hardware. Please read this post and come back with all the details, especially about your audio interface/soundcard.
ACL MX does all I want and has for a number of years. I have several audio files that were apparently scanned at 24K that playback fine on Windows Media Player and other playback programs but not by ACl MX. I would like to do some editing of these files but they sound all chopped up like there is an incompatibility between the sampling rate and the playback rate.
Audio is Realtek ALC1220 codec by the Gigabyte-Z270X-UD5 Motherboard.
Thank you for the additional information. I fully respect your wish to stick with the program you have and know.
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you mean when you say these audio files were apparently scanned at 24K. Audio files would not require any "scanning" to produce them, so can you give a little more detail about this, please?
Further, can you please download and install the free MediaInfo utility, point it to one of your audio files and post the results of the Text view here? That will give us a lot more information about the files themselves and may enable us to suggest a solution.
I did not mean scanned. I meant apparently 24K files as that what Properties of the file indicate. But that is all academic as I have solved the problem in a different manner. I was able to obtain the files as 32kbps files and they work fine in ACL. I thank you for your efforts.
