Is there a minimum KBPS for AAC audio?

I built a game with AAC audio at 256kbps (I used iTunes to create the AAC files) and the audio plays great through the game. I want to reduce the foot print of the audio files and have re-encoded the files at 80kbps using iTunes. When I import the new, smaller files there is no audio. The audio files work just fine as I can play them through QuickTime and WinAmp. Is there a minimum file compression for audio in GameSalad?

    Yeh, I was going to start using 44 as the files are tiny, but the sound is still really good. Do you think it is simply a case of "rebooting" the Mac?

    I'm a musician myself, so take this with a grain of salt, but... if you're finding 44kbps files to sound just as good as 256kbps files, I strongly recommend new headphones. ;)

    Have you tried picking a power-of-2 bitrate, e.g. 32 or 64?

    LOL!! I was using 256, but the file size for the app is about 107Mb. A bit large :)

    And, yes, I do need new head pones. The Power of 2 bitrate is a great idea.

    It's not just one song. It is 12 - about 45 minutes. It's a Christmas/Holiday thing where you can press buttons and hear instrumental traditional carols.
