Hi.
New here.
I'm trying to get SoX to work on Windows. I downloaded
sox-14.4.2-win32.zip
I extracted it to c:/sdr/sox
In here, I coppied sox.exe and pasted it, renaming the new copy
to play.exe
I'm pasting my console output. Note that the file I specify with
play, test.wav does exist, and I successfully converted it to mp3
and was able to play the new mp3 in foobar2000. It appears that
only audio playback is not working.
Btw, this command does generate audio
play.exe -n -c1 -t waveaudio synth sin %-12 sin %-9 sin %-5 sin
%-2 fade h 0.1 1 0.1
but the variation of this command that is in the pdf in the sox
directory doesn't, it generates the same error I got below.
The only weird thing I can think of that might be unexpected is
this is a 64bit machine running a 32 bit version, but I suspect
that is ok as there was no 64 bit version on the downloads page.
Someone else had the same issue and there is no solution on their
effort.

Usage summary: [gopts] [[fopts] infile]... [fopts] [effect
[effopt]]...
SPECIAL FILENAMES (infile, outfile):
- Pipe/redirect input/output
(stdin/stdout); may need -t
-d, --default-device Use the default audio device (where
available)
-n, --null Use the `null' file handler; e.g. with
synth effect
-p, --sox-pipe Alias for `-t sox -'
SPECIAL FILENAMES (infile only):
"|program [options] ..." Pipe input from external program (where
supported)
http://server/file Use the given URL as input file (where
supported)
GLOBAL OPTIONS (gopts) (can be specified at any point before the
first effect):
--buffer BYTES Set the size of all processing buffers
(default 8192)

sox, rec)
--combine sequence Sequence all input files (default for
play)
-D, --no-dither Don't dither automatically
--dft-min NUM Minimum size (log2) for DFT processing
(default 10)
--effects-file FILENAME File containing effects and options
-G, --guard Use temporary files to guard against
clipping
-h, --help Display version number and usage
information
--help-effect NAME Show usage of effect NAME, or NAME=all
for all
--help-format NAME Show info on format NAME, or NAME=all for
all
--i, --info Behave as soxi(1)
--input-buffer BYTES Override the input buffer size (default:
as --buffer)
--no-clobber Prompt to overwrite output file
-m, --combine mix Mix multiple input files (instead of
concatenating)
--combine mix-power Mix to equal power (instead of
concatenating)
-M, --combine merge Merge multiple input files (instead of
concatenating)
--multi-threaded Enable parallel effects channels
processing
--norm Guard (see --guard) & normalise
--play-rate-arg ARG Default `rate' argument for auto-resample
with `play'
--plot gnuplot|octave Generate script to plot response of
filter effect
-q, --no-show-progress Run in quiet mode; opposite of -S
--replay-gain track|album|off Default: off (sox, rec), track
(play)
-R Use default random numbers (same on each
run of SoX)
-S, --show-progress Display progress while processing audio
data
--single-threaded Disable parallel effects channels
processing
--temp DIRECTORY Specify the directory to use for
temporary files
-T, --combine multiply Multiply samples of corresponding
channels from all
input files (instead of concatenating)
--version Display version number of SoX and exit
-V[LEVEL] Increment or set verbosity level (default
2); levels:
1: failure messages
2: warnings
3: details of processing
4-6: increasing levels of debug
messages
FORMAT OPTIONS (fopts):
Input file format options need only be supplied for files that are
headerless.
Output files will have the same format as the input file where
possible and not
overridden by any of various means including providing output
format options.
-v|--volume FACTOR Input file volume adjustment factor (real
number)
--ignore-length Ignore input file length given in header;
read to EOF
-t|--type FILETYPE File type of audio
-e|--encoding ENCODING Set encoding (ENCODING may be one of
signed-integer,
unsigned-integer, floating-point, mu-law,
a-law,
ima-adpcm, ms-adpcm, gsm-full-rate)
-b|--bits BITS Encoded sample size in bits
-N|--reverse-nibbles Encoded nibble-order
-X|--reverse-bits Encoded bit-order
--endian little|big|swap Encoded byte-order; swap means opposite
to default
-L/-B/-x Short options for the above
-c|--channels CHANNELS Number of channels of audio data; e.g. 2
= stereo
-r|--rate RATE Sample rate of audio
-C|--compression FACTOR Compression factor for output format
--add-comment TEXT Append output file comment
--comment TEXT Specify comment text for the output file
--comment-file FILENAME File containing comment text for the
output file
--no-glob Don't `glob' wildcard match the following
filename
