Minor typo - it's {QIch}.
You don't want to use the {-lI'} suffix here. It could imply that not
finding the computer sounds is the outcome you are proceeding towards.
I would say {wej De'wI' QIch vItu'} or {De'wI' QIch vItu'be'pu'}.
How do you say soundfiles? That's a tough one. Perhaps you could say:
wej qawHaqDaq De' QIch vItu'.

{je} does not go between nouns, it comes after the last noun:
charghwI' ghuy'Do' je vI'Ijnes.
> lugh mu'thleghmey vItulbej
Watch your spelling - it's {mu'tlheghmey}.
This is a "sentence as object" construction. The sentence {lugh
mu'tlheghmey} is the object of {vItulbej}. You use the pronoun {'e'} after
the first sentence to indicate it is the object of the second sentence.
Also, if you want to say "my sentences" you can add {-wIj}.
lugh mu'tlheghmeywIj 'e' vItulbej.
> poj vI''Ijrup
Watch the typos, you have an extra {'} - {poj vI'Ijrup}.
I can't positively state whether {'Ij} is a transitive verb or not, but
this sentence is probably fine.
You could also say it another way:
pojlIj vIQoyrup. (I'm ready to hear your analysis.)
