Settings

Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.
Adjust the audio volume by selecting a number of decibels. For example, -10 dB decreases the volume by 10 decibels.

vox

VOX is a headerless audio format built around Dialogic ADPCM encoding, widely adopted in telephony, interactive voice response (IVR) systems, and voice mail platforms since the 1980s. Each audio sample is compressed into 4 bits using an algorithm developed by Oki Electric and implemented in hardware on Dialogic Corporation's telephony interface cards. VOX files typically use a sampling rate of 6000 or 8000 Hz, producing extremely compact recordings optimized for speech intelligibility rather than musical fidelity. Because the format carries no header, playback software must know the sample rate and encoding parameters in advance — a trade-off that reduces overhead but demands careful file management. The primary advantage of VOX is storage efficiency: a one-minute voice recording at 8 kHz occupies roughly 240 KB, making it practical for systems storing thousands of prompts. Dialogic ADPCM conforms to the ITU-T G.726 standard, ensuring interoperability across telephony equipment from different vendors. Even as modern call centers migrate to IP-based systems with codecs like Opus, vast libraries of VOX recordings persist in legacy IVR deployments and compliance archives worldwide.

wv

WavPack is an open-source audio codec created by David Bryant, with version 1.0 released on August 15, 1998. What sets WavPack apart is its unique hybrid mode: the encoder can simultaneously produce a compact lossy file and a separate correction file that, when combined, reconstruct the original PCM stream bit-for-bit. Users who need portability carry just the lossy file; those who want archival quality keep both. The codec handles PCM audio from 8-bit to 32-bit integer and 32-bit floating point, with sample rates up to 768 kHz — specifications broad enough for DSD content, which WavPack 5 added support for. Compression ratios in pure lossless mode typically reach 40 to 55 percent of the original size, competitive with FLAC and often slightly better on certain material. Multicore encoding in later versions dramatically speeds up processing on modern hardware. The open-source library ships under a BSD license and has been integrated into foobar2000, VLC, FFmpeg, and numerous other tools. WavPack also supports rich metadata through APEv2 tags, embedded cue sheets, and ReplayGain values, covering the organizational needs of even the most meticulous music library.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert VOX to WV?

WavPack provides lossless compression — your VOX audio is preserved perfectly in a smaller file than uncompressed WAV.

What can open WV files?

foobar2000, VLC, Winamp, and most Linux players decode WavPack. Audacity can import WV for editing.

Is WavPack better than FLAC?

WavPack often compresses slightly better than FLAC and offers a unique hybrid mode. Both are excellent lossless codecs.

Can I recover the exact audio later?

Yes — lossless WavPack decompresses to bit-identical PCM. Perfect for compliance archival of telephony recordings.

Is WavPack widely supported?

Popular among audiophiles and archivists. Consumer device support is narrower than FLAC.
