[SOLVED] Cnverted .wav to .ogg or .mp3 fails

Hi,

I'm attempting a simple convert of .wav files to .ogg and .mp3.
However every time I attempt to convert the new .ogg or .mp3 is simply output as noisy static.
I've tried multiple applications, including Audacity, Sox, lame and ffmg but they all behave the same which makes me think there's something wrong with the codecs.

Any advice in terms of fixing this?

Tom

Any error messages? Do you convert into different sample rates? What is the actual format of your input file (use file or mediainfo or similar)? What are the commands you are using? Can you provide a test file? There's nothing in your post that could be used to even try to help you...

There's no error. Here's an example

# Create the file
arecord -f dat -d 20 -D hw:0,0 test.wav
# Convert to 
ffmpeg -i test.wav -acodec libvorbis -aq 100 test.ogg

Which creates a file with hiss. As does:

arecord -f cd -t raw | oggenc - -r -o test.ogg

Hang on a minute. I've been testing playback using aplay which is why I hear static...
Doh - silly mistake!
