Default WAV file payback in Media Explorer

I have been getting several issues with certain wav files not playing back or even displaying in media explorer. This has been going on for a while now with different versions of Reaper. I have open and played the file back in VLC, audacity, cubase and they are fine fine.

Here is a small file example. Most of these file are purchased wav files.

I hope you guys can help.

Hm, that file seems to preview and play back fine here, on the current +dev build and also on recent released builds. What OS?

Hi
Try this one. It will open in other wav editors and play back fine with VLC.

Default Version 6.21

Actually I have the similar thing too when trying to use some samples from FL. I mean, they are correctly played by all the players and the other DAWs I have (FL, Cubase) but REAPER doesn't even show the preview peaks.

That file also plays back fine here. I wonder what could be causing the issue on your side. Are you loading the file from somewhere other than the local drive by any chance?

Local file here on a different hard drive.
I have like 5 HD in my pc.

schwa what audio interphase are you using and what is your setup?
I have a Pro 40 set at 48 / 24 bit.
I also tried to drag that file into reaper via the media explorer it would not load.

Does anything change if you copy the file to the system drive and try to play it back from there?

Could you guys please fix the search in media explorer to not start searching until I hit enter.
Right now as soon as I type anything in it starts searching.

Right-click the media explorer search field and select "update search only when enter key pressed".

Thanks for the info. I will give it a try.
Do you think you could put a button there instead?
