Playing raw PCM audio using Audacity

Audacity has always been my favorite tool to do simple sound editing. I turned to it to play raw PCM audio captured by a sniffer I am writing.

Here are the steps to import raw PCM audio in Audacity

  1. Run Audacity

  2. From the Project menu, select Import Raw Data…

    Import Raw Data

    In newer versions of Audacity go to File menu, Import, Raw Data…

  3. Select file with PCM data

  4. Audacity tries to best guess the parameters required for importation. You’ll need to change some of them, at least the Sample Rate

    Import Raw Data Options

  5. Click Import
