Output Char Buffer is too small when importing any .wav file

[MayorBryce]

Whenever I try to import a .wav file, I get the following error:

The output char buffer is too small to contain the decoded characters, encoding 'Unicode (UTF-8)' fallback 'System.Text.DecoderReplacementFallback'. Parameter name: chars.

Here is the log:

See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

** JIT Debugging ** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Make sure your wav file has an audio bit rate of 512kbps, with mono track at a sample rate of 32000Hz. You can change the audio bit rate by exporting as 16-bit PCM. Here are my export settings on Audacity.
