correct format for sounds to work properly in all ports?

in zdoom, you can import nearly any sound format and it plays perfectly.

but in prboom+, i try 11025hz 8bit mono and the sound plays slow and low pitched. i try 22050hz 8bit mono and it plays too fast and high pitched.

in eternity, they just don't play at all no matter what.

is there a certain format they need to be in or is there just something wrong with the specific sound files im using?

Make sure that when imported to the WAD, the sound is saved as a "Doom format" sound or "Doom Wave". In XWE, for example, the Wave menu showing up for sounds lets you (re)save any sound in that format. Sounds have to be 8-bit mono but can be of any frequency, not just 22050 or 11025.

thanks that worked great
