Most sounds in the original Quake are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaural mono] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV WAV files] with a sample rate of 11025 Hz and a bit depth of 8. This is usually referred to as "11kHz 8-bit mono". You can use other sample rates, but they may be resampled to 11kHz depending on the end-user's engine and configuration. | Most sounds in the original Quake are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaural mono] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV WAV files] with a sample rate of 11025 Hz and a bit depth of 8.
