I've been able to reproduce this using very short wav files (less than 2 
seconds in duration); if I use a longer file then it seems to work OK. 
Please could you try again with a longer wav file and report how you get on.

This may be a Cygwin problem (rather than an issue with sox itself), as 
piping the wav file to /dev/dsp has the same result, i.e. short wav 
files are not heard.

Cheers,

Dave.
