Some MediaFire files cant be heard

Examples of some that word no problem...Ernie Harwell posts...
Others that don't work are most everything else.... is there anything I need to do with these OGG files? The ones that work ...if you look at the properties generally have a bitrate of 1411 while the ones that don't work have a bitrate about 700.

Is anyone else running into downloaded files not being heard?
I've confirmed volumes and folders for all files stored in folders that OTTP is lined up to use...no issues there.
But, for some reason these OGG's just don't want to work in OOTP nor offline in a compatible player....they play...jest no sound

If anyone has run into this and got around it or fixed it...I'd love to know what you did. Thanks!

VLC plays every OGG file that I have ever tried. Mediafire is just a hosting site. You should ask the person who uploaded the file. You did not provide any info on which files are not working. A different unzipping program may help. 7Zip, Izarc, winrar, winzip.
