Audio Wave files not showing in Resolve Media Library

I am trying to import a wav audio file into Resolve, but I can`t get them to show up in the Library for import into the Media Pool. Are there any special format restriction ? Its a standart 16Bit 48K .wav

Also there is audio embedded in my reference QT movie that I linked to my timeline as offline for conforming, is there a way to use the audio from that to playback while conforming ?

I had the same problem on a Windows PC. It seems only 48K WAV file show up.

Cheers.

Standard 16 bit 48K .wav files are what we like. If those are not showing up in the Library, could you send a sample to davincihelp (AT) blackmagicdesign (DOT) com?

For the offline clip, you would need to extract the audio, and attach the extracted audio .wav file to the timeline using the Chase Audio function. You can right click on the offline clip in the Media page Library view and select the "Extract Audio" menu.

Put the extracted .wav file into the Media Pool and then right click the .wav file in the Media Pool and select the "Link as Chase Audio File" menu.

It seems that [wav] files over 4Gb are not shown... Splitting one 6Gb file into 3+3 helped me right now.

Arrghhh! Wav (48/24 5.1) greater than 2Gb reading icorrectly in Resolve. All than audio after 2gb length is corrupted.

Having same issue. My files are 96/24bit.

Is there anything I can do to import these?

Convert them to 48K or wait for Resolve 12.

Be aware that I've never heard of an audio-for-film (or TV) session in my life at 96kHz. 48K, yes. What are you hoping to accomplish with 96kHz files? There is no delivery medium of which I'm aware that can accommodate that standard (no DCP, Blu-ray, DVD, streaming, broadcast, videotape, etc.).

Blu-ray certainly does. LPCM , Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD-MA all support 96kHz. Our Blu-ray clients who do audio remastering work on their films typically deliver files to us at 24/96, for encoding to DTS HD-MA. I'd say we get files like this probably once or twice a month, on average.

We do a lot of archival work, and most of the film archives request 96k audio as a deliverable, even from optical track scans. Is it overkill? probably. But their spec for long term archiving is to have the audio at the highest sample rates possible.

Having this issue in 2023 with Resolve 18, trying to add a 64 bit FP WAV file.
Sure, I get it if you don't support it, but we need to have a dialogbox displaying why it can't be imported. Without that, I'm left wondering if there's some other problem.

All the best.

Resolve is quite happy with 16bit, 24bit and 32bit float WAV files. From a post by Peter Chamberlain at BMD:

Resolve is 32bit float as a minimum internally, with a lot of 64 bit stages
