I had a corrupted WAV, and used Audacity to sort it out. I think I used a Raw Import, which ignores the header, and imports the real data. As my corrupted wav had a corrupted header, this approach was a winner for me. And this saved me from making an error with the hex editing!

I have subsequently discovered that Audacity handles this sort of problem. You import the corrupt file as RAW, and then you can work with the file just like any normal one. Maybe not as technically satisfying as doing a hex-editor tweak to the corrupt file, but it certainly works!

This situation is very like mine – I have a file that will play through VLC, but nothing else seems to want to have anything to do with it. I have had a look in the wav file with a hex editor, and it just has 00 00 00 00 for the subchunk2size. I am keen to have a go, but how do I convert the hex to numbers (and indeed numbers to hex)? The Excel function Hex2Dec looks like it should do the trick, but it converts 01 00 (AudioFormat) to 256, and 02 00 (NumChannels) to 512, so that initial hope got quashed.
Please forgive me if this is a basic thing that everybody (except me) knows.
