Can you post a link to a sample "before" and "after" file as well as the 
command line you are using to convert the file?

The sox line I am using (version 14.0.1) is
Sox foo.wav -r 8000 -c 1 bar.wav resample -ql

Before I found Audiograbber I used this line
Sox -v 2 foo.wav -r 8000 -c 1 bar.wav resample -ql
