| Haven't looked at the specific file but sound formats are many layered things. Try converting it to something else... or even the same thing, it might strip out whatever is causing loadsound to fail... |

| Just chucked it through Soundforge - it wouldn't even resave it in its existing format - something about a codec so I guess although its a WAV, its actually in some weird-ass format that Blitzmax doesn't like. Anyhoo, resampled it from its current 11025hz to 44.1khz, and it plays fine in Blitzmax. |

| It's a VBR MP3 encoded sample within a WAV container. As already suggested, just convert it with your favourite audio editor. |

| Try exporting it with Audacity. |

| ah i see, i just thought a wav was a wav. i will convert it. thanks very much for going to all the trouble of checking it out for me. much appreciated :) |

| wav is a so-container format, like avi - you can put all kinds of differently encoded data inside of it, but you'll need to have the appropriate codec in order to play it back. |
