Hello 3 deg C France....
This can be a sample rates problem on Virtual Acorn Adjust 4.39
To test

REM Show the sample rates available from the sound system.
SYS "Sound_SampleRate",0 TO ,nrates
PRINT"Sound system has ";nrates;" sample rates available"
FOR index = 1 TO nrates
  SYS "Sound_SampleRate",2,index TO ,,rate
  PRINT"Index ";index;" rate ";rate / 1024;" Hz"
NEXT
Here a little utility from Jim Lesurf to get information on &FB1 files
 https://jeanmichelb.riscos.fr/Audio/Download/ReadWavHeader.zip
(it's a desktop version,just drag and drop)

For information:
Prosound is able to load several formats (wav /AIF), edit them if 
necessary and convert them. The application works well with a CM4 or 
ARMX6.
As an aside, Prosound also recognizes certain ARMovie files (&AE7)
