I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but did you try doing the
tape/.wav dump again to make sure that it was loaded in correctly?
I know there's that issue with the volume having to be set right...
Ah, I know that's pretty elementary - I assume you probably did that

make sure I get the proper wood, etc. Not something I would want to
buy at Home Depot...
