[Speex-dev] converting 16-bit samples in LPSTR to short

[Peter Gien]

Hi,

I am capturing 16 bit mono sound samples using some Win32 API function
calls. These function calls return the sound samples in an array of
characters. My assumption is that this array of characters represents pairs
of bytes that make up a short integer.

I'm using the following code to convert the samples:

LPTSTR *lpSaveBuffer;
......
for(j=0;j<nBytes;++J)
{
     BYTE a = lpSaveBuffer[2*j];    // left byte
     BYTE b = lpSaveBuffer[2*j + 1]; // right byte
     short sample =  (a << 8) | (b & 0xff);
}

I'm getting garbage as a result of this conversion. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter
