Hi everyone! I'm a newbie in sound generating and currently I'm coding assembly for playing a .wav file. What I have learned by all my searching is that in the structure of a .wav file there is some number "sample rate". I wanted to know if my understanding of this sample rate is correct.
Let's assume that the sampling rate, noted in the subchunk of a .wav file is 8000hz. Does it mean that when playing the sound, 8000 of those samples per second should be played? so that this way I can calculate how much time a note (or a sample) shall hold on.
Is what I have assumed correct?
thanks in advance
