do not have the necessary audio software on my computer to be able to

The files are .wav files. Almost any Windows machine should be able
to play them, without additional software. Perhaps you use Linux as I
do, for the internet.
It's interesting, I hear a different vowel between the male and the
female voice in some instances, especially for y and u.
Actually audio files would be quite useful and interesting for PIE
sounds. Perhaps there would be room in the 'Files' area, if someone
had the inclination to provide some.
