I was also playing with the signed/unsigned char thing, and it solved my problem too. Although I don't understand why this could make a difference?

It did turn out to be something in my byte ordering in the end as suggested. I tested the decompressed file against the original wav file and it checked out and played fine, but when i rearranged the byte ordering to use signed char instead of the unsigned chars i was feeding it, the compression ratio was greatly improved. As a quick hack i ended up with: for (int i=0; i<2352; i+=4) { // 2352 because number of bytes in frame of CDDA sample[j++]=(((char)buffer[i+1]<<8)|(0x00ff&(int)(char)buffer[i])); sample[j++]=(((char)buffer[i+3]<<8)|(0x00ff&(int)(char)buffer[i+2])); } the (char) casts made all the difference. I'll change the software to use all signed chars, but this works for now. HTH.
