audio files won't play

[KristyLDavis]

I had used the beta version of Audacity to export the files (and when this happened, it didn't work). When I used the original version of Audacity to export the files it worked just fine. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the update Kristy. Wish I knew the difference--the files seem virtually indentical. Anyways, glad to know there is a fix available for you.

PS--do you happen to know what beta version it was? I'm assuming it was a beta for a recent version and not the original beta of many years ago yes? Not critical, but just thought it might be useful info for anyone who runs into the same problem.

it was version 1.3.5 (Beta)

I'm having the same problem, getting the error "ding." They are 16 bit files and I used Audacity to export them as .wav files. I even tried the crayon one that you attached, to no avail. I also tried playing them as movie files like you suggested in another thread, and nothing. Any other ideas?

We were able to fix the problem by exporting the audio files from the NON beta form of Audacity.

Ah, yeah, I really thought I was using a non-beta version of Audacity, but I tried re-downloading the software and made sure it was non-beta this time, and now the sound files are working fine. *shrug*
Thanks!
