Does Sound Recorder work (it's using low-level Win32 multimedia API, as
opposed to WMP that uses DirectSound)? Try uncompressed, as well as ADPCM
compressed files in it.

Use Sound Recorder to playback files?


SoundRecorder allows to open (File-Open...) and play a wav file. Because of
very old design, it will load the whole file into memory. I remember in
Windows 3.1, the whole system would get stuck when I tried to load a
particularly big file.
