".au" format files are formatted for Sun Sparcstations' built-in audio.
They're mu-law encoded 8-bit samples at a 8kHz sample rate (actually, I
think it's 8,192 Hz). I presume you're running DOS/Windows on your PC, in
which case you will need to locate an audio conversion utility
to turn these into a format that your software recognizes - such as .WAV.
(If you're running Linux on your PC, then its sound drivers will handle .au
files already . . .)
