Hi Steve, I am also wondering why DXSound would not play ADPCM wav files, but the fact is that it doesn't. The game I am working on uses these files to make ...

It seems that DXSound cannot handle 4-bit ADPCM natively. One thing I forgot to mention was that we used FMOD as our sound engine in Disney's Extremely Goofy...
