title: librosa.load() not accurately decoding audio file from Youtube
body: <p>I am trying to run the command <code>librosa.load()</code> on a <code>.wav</code> file. The <code>.wav file</code> was downloaded from a youtube video via <a href="https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">youtube-dl</a> and has the following properties:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Number of channels: 2</li>
  <li>Sample rate: 44,100Hz</li>
  <li>Duration: 3486.104 seconds </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>However, the returned time series from the command <code>librosa.load('file.wav')</code> is the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(array([0., 0., 0., ..., 0., 0., 0.], dtype=float32), 22050)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>.wav</code> file definitely has lots of noise so I don't quite understand why the output is <code>0</code> for every frame.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried running <code>librosa.load()</code> on other <code>.wav</code> files of audio from other Youtube videos and had the same result.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has any idea about what is causing this output please let me now. Thanks in advance.</p>
