As usual I'm probably missing something, but, I've been (trying) to load .wav files into audio, both with file in chops and file in the audio panel. When I load the file houdini just sits, no ‘houdini not responding’ in the task manager, and no memory activity, but it goes away and doesn't come back - is there some kind of cook that needs to be done, am I using the correct file format (my wav files play okay in media player and I've edited them down for testing okay in creative audio editor, so they do make a noise. Any ideas?
Shouldn't I be able to just load the file and go?

It seems to work for me. Here's what I tried on WinXP:
- Start up Houdini 8.1.704
- Click on the audio panel button on the playbar to bring it up
- Click on Time Line
- Click on File:
- Choose the WinXP startup .wav file: CWINDOWS/Media/Windows XP Startup.wav
- Turn on realtime playback in the playbar
- Hit Play
Is your .wav file less than or equal to 44.1 KHz? Houdini doesn't support any higher frequencies for audio playback.
