I hex edited and lo and behold the files start with RF64 not RIFF.

What should I do. Change all of them with the hex editor? That fixes it, but all the files are that way, so it's either break them up or Hex Edit.

This is the vital clue. Many thanks. The RF64 indicates that the file is in a different format than standard WAV. This format is intended for files larger than 4GB and it isn't currently supported by MinimServer. What software did you use to create these files?

You should not change the header from RF64 to RIFF because the RF64 format has other differences from a normal WAV file and the edited file is unlikely to work correctly.

I would like to change MinimServer to support these RF64 files directly. To do this, I need to find a way to create them myself for testing purposes.
