Playback issues with SF Mac Files -Sound Forge - Mac

Subject:Playback issues with SF Mac Files Posted by: neilhc Date:4/6/2016 1:13:13 PM We're having multiple issues with u-law wav files. We have issues with encoding for .mp3 as well but that may be unrelated. If we save a u-law file in SF 2.5, it throws the error "An error occurred while opening a codec" when trying to open it in Sound Forge 11. If we try to open the saved u-law file in Quicktime, we get 'Error -208: an unknown error occurred' The Media Info printout for the file looks like this: Format : ADPCM Format profile : U-Law Codec ID : 7 Codec ID/Hint : CCITT Bit rate mode : Constant Channel(s) : 1 channel Sampling rate : 8 000 Hz Bit depth : 8 bits This is in Contrast to a u-law file mastered in SF 11 that looks like this: Audio Format : ADPCM Format profile : U-Law Codec ID : 7 Codec ID/Hint : CCITT Duration : 24s 724ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 64.0 Kbps Channel(s) : 1 channel Sampling rate : 8 000 Hz Bit depth : 8 bits Is there a reason the SF Mac file isn't printing a duration or bit rate? I feel like this is a header related issue but nothing I've searched on is yielding results. If we can't process u-law files in SF for Mac this is a useless product for us.

We're having multiple issues with u-law wav files. We have issues with encoding for .mp3 as well but that may be unrelated.

If we save a u-law file in SF 2.5, it throws the error "An error occurred while opening a codec" when trying to open it in Sound Forge 11. If we try to open the saved u-law file in Quicktime, we get 'Error -208: an unknown error occurred'

The Media Info printout for the file looks like this:
Format : ADPCM
Format profile : U-Law
Codec ID : 7
Codec ID/Hint : CCITT
Bit rate mode : Constant
Channel(s) : 1 channel
Sampling rate : 8 000 Hz
Bit depth : 8 bits

This is in Contrast to a u-law file mastered in SF 11 that looks like this:
Audio
Format : ADPCM
Format profile : U-Law
Codec ID : 7
Codec ID/Hint : CCITT
Duration : 24s 724ms
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 64.0 Kbps
Channel(s) : 1 channel
Sampling rate : 8 000 Hz
Bit depth : 8 bits

Is there a reason the SF Mac file isn't printing a duration or bit rate? I feel like this is a header related issue but nothing I've searched on is yielding results. If we can't process u-law files in SF for Mac this is a useless product for us.
