SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to import a custom wave audio (.wav) file into the Sound Script Editor, you may receive the following error message:

 is not a valid WAV file.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the wave audio file uses an audio compression algorithm other than PCM (Pulse Code Modulation). To play back wave audio files in Links LS, the files must use the PCM audio compression format.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, convert the wave audio file into PCM format:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Accessories.
 * 2) Point to Multimedia or Entertainment, and then click Sound Recorder.
 * 3) Click File, and then click Open.
 * 4) Locate the custom wave audio file you want to import, and then click Open.
 * 5) Click File, and then click Properties.
 * 6) In the Choose From box under Format Conversion, click PCM, and then click Convert Now.
 * 7) Click OK, and then click OK again.
 * 8) Click File, and then click Save.
