Try to open in with soundhack, then save a copy, then use that copy. Or try to fix the header with soundhack.

try audiohack

There may be a newer version around, check with

Also an import into WaveLab or Adobe Audition can resolve some WAV issues

good luck!
Moving on works, too, there's lots of stuff down the road
