Thank you for your help, I've probably identified the problem - one of the input parameters was a char (8 bit). I've tried to fix it using the following code to reformat it so that it can be used properly for 16 bit but I keep getting the same problem
/* Function with char as one of the parameters - qint64 XYSeriesIODevice::writeData(const char *data, qint64 maxSize) - same as in the Qt audio example**/ int bitsPerSample = 16; int bytesPerSample = (bitsPerSample / BITS_IN_BYTE); int signalLength = (strlen(data) ) / numChannels / bytesPerSample; short* signal = (short*)malloc(sizeof(short) * signalLength); for(int i = 0; i < signalLength; i++){ int index = i * numChannels * bytesPerSample; memcpy(&signal[i], &data[index], sizeof(short)); }Any suggestions?
