As I wrote above: I tested the *.wav file with the Win7 Media Player.

I tried to play it with mplayer: mplayer shows progress, but no sound.
Then I played with the same mplayer on the same system some older mp3
file with the same headphone: worked fine.

After ripping the CD on some other FreeBSD system, I copied the file to
the VM and used the same mplayer again: worked now as it should.
