did you check the samplerate of these sounds ?

I remember there was some trouble playing sounds in MC/RR
when they did not have the right samplerate...

They should be:

44.1 khz
22.05 khz
11.025 khz etc... (always the exact half...)

Sampledepth (8 or 16 bit) shouldn't matter...

(Other apps may be more tolerant in playing sounds...)

Hope this helps...

P.S.
Looks like you are working on a mac.
Why not use players (quicktime) ?
Quicktime plays almost anything...

Just a thought...
