Here's the easiest method I can think of.

1. Open SoundEdit or ResEdit.
2. Open the Sound control panel device.  
3. Open your sound file.
4. Copy the sound.
5. Paste sound into the Sound cdev.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for all sounds.
7. Quit all applications.
8. Open the System file (by dbl-clicking in the Finder)
9. Drag all the sounds you want to a new folder.

I've seen this many times to be the fault of badly formatted snd resources.
We improved the error detection in the Sound Manager, and this means
some incorrect sounds will no longer play.  Without seeing the resource
data, I cannot help you.  Refer to the Sound Manager documentation of
Inside Mac VI.
