I am attempting to 'load' a source file into WavePad using the correct directx encoder. The audio file has an extension of .a00 or .a01 and is only 11KB. I have a Xeon processor workstation that loads these just fine. I am trying to load them on an Intel P4 280 GHZ with 1 GB of Ram with a SoundMax sound card and on this workstation the load hangs and I can go no further. Is this a matter of resources on the workstation? I can only surmise this is the issue as one workstation will decode and load and the other will not. I do not get any error messages after having installed directx. Any advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I am sort of stuck.
