Zero byte .wav file - how to restore?
rigpimp:
If there is a file on the card back it up and host it for others to try.
If there is no file on the card then try Recuva. https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva

Tried Recuva and shows 0 byte file but nothing more. Only files on the card are the other Wav files. Not finding anything hidden.

Sounds like the recorder errored out while recording, most likely shortly after starting. Boo, hiss.

I checked about 45 minutes into the set and the red record light was on and 20 minutes later it ended with red light flashing and a file error message. Couldn't do anything but turn off recorder by removing batteries.
if_then_else:
Can you create an img file of your SD card (e.g. using a low level copy tool like dd on Linux/UNIX) and send me the file along with the information about the original bit depth, sample rate and the number of channels? I've tried out a couple of different tools on Linux and Windows recently and chances are that at least one of them might work.
