16 bit to 8 bit conversion?

[Jennifer2]

Hello.

I'm trying draw a graph based on UDP packets with sound data.
Each UDP contains 1000 samples ---> 1 sample is two bytes.

I already have a code in C# drawing a graph, but I think this code is based on 8 bit, and now I send in 16 bit. The graph looks really weird. Is it possible to convert 16 bit to 8 bit?

Just delete the least 8 significant bits in each sample.
