    Hi,

    I was trying to set-up some Icewind Dale 2 soundsets to fit with Baldurs Gate 2, but to make the most of it I want to play the sound first. I can't seem to get these sounds to play no matter what player/codec I use. It simply tells me the files are corrupted or some such. These files play fine in the games themselves.

    Is there a trick to this or are these files not really WAV files?

    Thanks!

    It's due to the encoding on those ".wav" files. See if you can't convert them to ".acm" files and back again. I think that's how I've done it in the past.

    You might need to download an "acm to wav" file converter and if it doesn't convert back, you'll also need a "wav to acm" converter. Google it.

    If that doesn't work, try this:

    Download this .zip file and extract it to the folder where your sound files are.

    http://www.co8.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=306&d=1118125441

    Then, doubleclick the extracted batch utility dewavc.bat (in the same folder) and I believe it will convert all your sound files for you to regular .wav format. Good luck. :)
