    some .wav files dont play

    Due to a disastrous computer crash, I recently bought a new computer with Windows Vista installed. Now some of my (newly downloaded - I lost all the old files) .wav files will not play. For instance, the sound of an airplane engine plays perfectly, but the sound of a bugle playing does not. I have noticed some reference to 'useless Vista security files' here, and wonder if this might be the problem. But then, why do some of the .wav files play and others do not? Any one have any suggestions/thoughts/fixes?

    Try re-encoding those sounds to Windows PCM.

    Windows PCM is the basic format of .wav files

    Try the software Audacity to edit your audio files.
