Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. I did a search and couldn't find anything.
What is the bandwidth of uncompressed wav? Just to make sure I'm asking the right question, how much throughput would I need on a network connection to stream an uncompressed wav? Would 343 kbps suffice?
Thanks.

PCM (WAVE & AIFF) is 1411kbps
Chart table I made up awhile ago (hopefully I didn't forget anything):
- 8 Bits = 1 Byte
- 1Kbyte = 1,024 Bytes (8,192 bits)
- 1Mbit = 128 Kbyte
- 11 Mbits รท 8 = 1.375 MBytes
- 11Mbit = 11,264 Kbit maximum theoretical bandwidth
- CD-DA = 1,411 Kbits/S
- 1,411Kbit = 1.38Mbit (1.37793 precisely)
- 1,411Kbit = 0.172241 Mbyte
This would be for raw, PCM audio.
Assuming you mean CD-DA a.k.a. "Red Book" audio, PCGuide.com - Compact Disk Digital Audio (CD-DA) (http://www.pcguide.com/ref/cd/formatCDDA-c.html) is a good, simple explanation.
If not, could you please be more specific?
Hopefully this will prove useful, tec
Thanks for the responses. That's the info I needed. I guess the quick and dirty calculation is:
44100 samples/second * 16 bits/sample * 2 [for two channels] = 1411.2 kbps
