Who knows?

I had the impression you earlier tested a merge and decided the 
resulting file
was ok (either it sounded ok, or it looked ok in some other program)?  
Was that
so?

If so, do the files merged by the script also sound ok to you, or look 
ok, doing
whatever it was that you did before to check a file?



Take one example (ie a left file, a right file and file that was merged 
from them),
and for each of those files issue in a command window this command 
(though use the
paths that make sense on your computer):

  "C:\path\to\sox\soxi.exe" "C:\path\to\audio-files\some.wav"

Note that this runs "soxi.exe" not "sox.exe".  Make sure that you have a 
soxi.exe
(in the same place as you have sox.exe).

Paste the command you issued and whatever the result was, for each file, 
in your
next reply.

Also issue, for each file, this command:

  "C:\path\to\sox\sox.exe" "C:\path\to\audio-files\some.wav" -n stat 
stats

and paste those commands and results into your reply too.  Note that 
this command
called 'sox' not 'soxi', and the 'stat stats' part runs two separate 
effects which
will list details about the audio data in the file concerned.


So, that's three separate commands to be issued, against three separate 
files.
Hopefully something in the details the three commands list will give 
someone here a
clue as to what might be wrong.


Do you remember earlier in the discussion someone pointed out that, 
really, scripts
should check things?  The script you've been running checks nothing.
