Rather it seems that your installation of WMP is unable to play these - 
they work fine here. I don't know much about WMP, but one thing worth 
trying could be to link directly to the .wma files instead of the .wax 
files.

The best would be to ask the person who originally encoded these to 
re-encode from the original sound files - just as with jpg-images, 
compressing an already compressed file produces sub-optimal quality.

I made them to mp3s so not only WMP but also about every player software 
there is can play them:
