Sound filename empty??

[Paul Groot]

no idea, except for trivial ones...

Are there any exotic characters in the name of the file. Try renaming it to
a short name.
Also make sure to include the file extension properly. Windows explorer
doesn't show the file extension by default, so you should change this
setting to make sure you see the complete name. And be sure not to use
double extensions in explorer. A see this very often because some people
add a second extension when the first was not visible. I think this is not
a problem when you just select an existing file with using the file
selection dialog box.
