Why is the audio quality on the North course so bad?

It’s unlistenable at times whereas the south course is fine. It’s quite annoying (which makes for a worse learning experience) and is uncharacteristically unprofessional for an otherwise great course. Can this be fixed?

I’m listening to mine through the SSIW app on my phone and it sounds perfectly fine

Could you clarify? Which course? Course 1, 2 or 3 or the new level 1 or 2

The new levels

Mine is fine. Not the best in the world but perfectly usable.

Hi @badgerbadgerbobtheba,

Well done for soldiering on through poor quality audio. Learning a language is difficult enough with everything being perfect, so you are doing exceptionally well to be getting on with it despite the problems. However, we should be able to sort out this issue, and then , as you say, the job will become a whole lot easier!

So, firstylm, there are no issues that we are aware of with quality of the files as they are stored, which means that there must be a corruption somewhere in the download process to you.

So that we can help you to sort that out, could you let us know how you are listening (eg, on an mp3 player downloaded through your pc, or via the iphone app, etc. The more inof you give us, the more likely we are to be able to pinpoint the difficulty.

Diolch / thank you!

It also worth mentioning that we did change how we recorded the challenges starting around Level 1, Challenge 16. So, you will notice a difference in quality for those earlier challenges. Is this what you are listening to?

(This applies to Northern - the Southern challenges were all recorded later using the improved setup)
