I can't seem to get sounds to play. Entering the .WAV (Or .MID) in the appropriate place (say on a SPEAKing action to a character), I get nothing, no sound or anything. Do the sounds have to be in a particular place or what?

If you're using QDK, simply choose PLAY A SOUND or PLAY A MIDI FILE from the action pull-down. If it's a sound, then you enter the path of your wav file, and enter the path of the MIDI if you choose to play a MIDI file. I presume you already knew how to do this, so the problem probably has something to do with the path of your sound/music. If I were you, I'd just stick the sounds and music in the same folder as your game file, then you just have to type in the name of the file instead of an entire path. (Ex.- A midi file called TITLE is in the same folder as your game file, so just type TITLE.MID in the MIDI FILE action line...By the way, caps aren't needed. I just used them so they stand out.)
If all else fails, it's probably got something to do with the sound on your computer, and not QDK.
