Of course you can convert any sund file to .wav format, which would be the
uncompressed form of any audio file.
Switch is okay, but Goldwave will also convert, as will most pro-level sound
programs, such as CoolEdit or Sonic Forge.
There will inevitably be some loss in this process, but I can't explain the
technical reasons why this is true. I only know that if you have two
identical sound files, both in .wav format, then compress one of them to mp3
and then decompress it back to wave file, it will sound worse than the
unaltered wave file.
In my studio, I use Goldwave for most simple conversion tasks. I use Sonic
Forge for more complex work, and Cakewalk Pro 9 as my digital audio
recorder/mixer.

Hello Greg,
I'm not sure that you can convert anything to .wav, but if it is at all
possible, you could try using switch, from nch software.
You can download a free version and it works well with jaws, even jaws
10.
The paid version has more functions, but .wav is the raw sound format,
as far as I know and that's why I'm not sure whether you can convert
anything back to that, if already reduced to a lesser quality format.
Regards
Riana
