This seems to be due to a change made to BWFFile in the port to QT6 which removed the 8bit/16bit detection and hard coded playback to 16bit. I reworked the format detection to accurately determine the bit depth and it solves the problem on my machine.

While working on this I noticed that mono wav files play back on the left speaker only. I'm going to implement an upmix from mono to stereo to fix this.

If you want to recreate the problem or test how various different bit depth and mono/stereo files work in the notifications, you can use these files:

test_wav_files.zip

The 8 bit mono is a good example of what's broken in the current release.
