Now that you have provided a proper explanation of the problem, the source
of that problem is obvious.

A-law and u-law compress 14 (or 13, I can't remember which) bit data into 
8 bits. From the symptoms you describe above, it seems that the algorithm
you are using is expecting the 13/14 bit data in the lower bits while 
you are providing full 16 bit data.

What you need to do when encoding is divide all sample values by 4 (or 8)
and when decoding, multiply by 4 (or 8).
