opus - May 2013 - Quality difference between opus_demo.exe and opusenc.exe

Hello!

I encoded a voice file (48kHz) with opusbin\opusenc.exe with the 
standard settings and decoded it.
The output was amazing. I could not hear any loss at all.

Then i encoded the same file with opus_demo.exe and standard settings 
and then decoded it.
The output had a sizzling noise, even when I used full bandwidth.

I think I have played around with any of the settings in opus_demo.exe, 
but I just can not get these amazing results as with opusbin\opusenc.exe.

What may I have missed?

Thank you.

Hermann

Does nobody have any clue about the worse quality in opus_demo.exe vs. 
opusenc.exe???

Opus_demo does not read and write wav files, it reads and write little
endian raw 16 bit pcm data.  It's very easy to get the raw format
settings wrong and get buzzing output like you describe. Without more
information I cannot offer more advice.

Opus demo is a testing tool for development and not an end user application.
