Hello,
I was taking few sound with my smartphone. After this, I sent the created file via mail to my pc. A "NoName.wav" file is there. Now, how to play that file on Debian Wheezy GNOME?
VLC seems not to work (no sound is coming out).
Hello,
I was taking few sound with my smartphone. After this, I sent the created file via mail to my pc. A "NoName.wav" file is there. Now, how to play that file on Debian Wheezy GNOME?
VLC seems not to work (no sound is coming out).
VLC should be able to play wave files. Are you sure this is a vlc issue? Do you have sound in e.g. youtube?
As silly as it may sound, the vast majority of sound problems I came a across were really only muted or zero-volumed speakers.
Run alsamixer and make sure that no bar is at zero and that no bar says MM (i.e. muted) at the bottom.
You can toggle mute / non-mute with M and move the volume up and down with the cursor keys.
Possibly try selecting a sound card by hitting F6. If you do not have alsamixer, get it by installing alsa-utils. (I think that's the package name).
Muted volume or the default audio output device is not the one you want. VLC, mplayer, mpv, aplay, play, and many others should be able to play the file. Unless the file is empty (0 bytes) or a wav of a silence track.
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
The one labeled 0 is the default. Baring per application configurations, pulseaudio, or an asoundrc to use the non-0 default. Most machines tend to have multiple audio device these days. Webcam, Video card, and soundcard all have audio capabilities. Any one of which could be the default depending on things.
The user also needs to be in the audio group, and probably the pulse group if you have that type of configuration. Otherwise permissions get in the way.
Youtube etc. works: the sound is definitively there for all applications.

This Debian Policy Manual applies to these packages as well. ...

It looks like you might have multiple versions of avconv/ffmpeg installed. 53.21.1 53.19.0. Perhaps you installed something from source and didn't use the distros package management system?
Otherwise it looks like the file might not be WAV at all. And you don't have the codec you need to play whatever type it is.
$ avprobe FILE.wav
or
$ ffprobe FILE.wav
Which should give you some codec information.
$ file FILE.wav
Might also have some information about the file to help understand what it is, and is NOT. If it is a codec issue you might just be an apt-get install away from using it, or whatever package manager applies to your distro.
my experience is that .wav can contain all sorts of codecs (compressed audio instead of uncompressed).
it just maybe that your phone uses some weird codec that doesn't get recognized even by vlc.
one thing you can try: simply remove the .wav extension and see what vlc makes from it.
but i think it's far more likely that something went wrong whilst transfering the file from your phone via email to your computer.

btw, can you listen to the file on your phone?
