To keep sounds consistent a sound file should follow the parameters listed below. # Format Internally qTox needs PCM with signed 16Bit integers and a samplerate of 48kHz and one channel (mono). You can use ffmpeg to create those files as follows: ``` ffmpeg -i notification.wav -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 48000 notification.s16le.pcm ``` # Normalization All sound files should have their maximum at -1.0 dB. To normalize them correctly you can use Audacity with the "Normalize" plugin.
