Whenever I try to read any sort of SD2 sound file in Max5, I get the error "sfgetinfo: warning Audio 1_01.sd2 does not appear to have valid SD2 resources. assuming 1 channel, 44100.000000 hz sampling rate."

Here's a max 4.6 patch that works in both max 4 and max 5, but only max4 interprets the SD2 file correctly.

Max 5 just gives me an excruciatingly loud 44.1khz mono file. Wasn't this an issue in 4.6.2 that was fixed in 4.6.3? Any ideas if this'll be fixed again in max 5?

[sfinfo~] gives me the same error message, as well, and reports any SD2 file as being a 16bit, 44.1k, mono file.

SDII files are not cross-platform and are not supported in Max 5.

Well, damn. So I have to make my users convert any SD2 files to .wav or .aif before using them? Their audio library databasing system works entirely with SD2 files, it would've been nice if I could've at least made an automatic conversion to .wav for them.

Do you still have Max 4? If so, you could make an automatic converter

there.

If the current Max 5 docs claim that something

supports SD2 files, it's an error that I'll

correct straightaway - thanks for the heads-up

Consider SD2 as unsupported. It might still work with some objects but 

for various of reasons we don't support it anymore.

Where does it state it? the only point I found was in the jit.buffer~ 

help file which understands a writesd2 command but that prints:

It had been discussed before, Max 5 doesn't support SD2...

But SD2 belongs to the formats Quicktime can read. You should be able to 

load a buffer with a SD2 file with the import message...

Buffer~ having trouble with SD2 files in Max5?
