I am trying to play .ulaw format in reactjs, I didn't find any straight forward way to play the ulaw file. So I tried to convert ulaw format to wav, by using the wavfile plugin. But after conversion it playing different noise, I am not able to identify where is the actual error.
ulaw file details:
Sample Rate 8000
Bit rate 64
Channel MONO
import voice from '../src/app/components/voice.ulaw'
const WaveFile = require('wavefile').WaveFile;
let wav = new WaveFile();
const playUlawFile = () => {
fetch(voice)
.then(r => r.text())
.then(text => Buffer.from(text, "utf-8").toString("base64"))
.then(result =>{
wav.bitDepth = '128000'
wav.fromScratch(1, 8000, '64', result);
wav.fromMuLaw();
wav.toSampleRate(64000);
return wav;
}).then(wav => {
audio = new Audio(wav.toDataURI())
return audio;
}).then(audio => {
audio.play();
})
}
Below changes worked for me, still some noise is there, but it can produce 80% matching sound.
const readFile = () => {
fetch(voice)
.then(r => r.text())
.then(text => btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(text))) )
.then(result =>{
wav.fromScratch(1, 18000, '8m', Buffer.from(result, "base64"));
wav.fromMuLaw(32);
wav.toSampleRate(64000, {method: "sinc"});
return wav;
}).then(wav => {
audio = new Audio(wav.toDataURI())
return audio;
}).then(audio => {
audio.play();
})
}
