The only other parameter that might matter is Sample Size. Checking this for my rightones, they are all set at 16 bits per sample. Another possible culprit is Digital Rights Management. Media Player verifies license status for DRM files, I doubt the phone ringer does. If your ring files are not DRM-free, then there are various ways to strip the DRM, typically reducing sound quality. Don't worry though, 11 kHz is already LQ and any quality loss will be totally unnoticeable over the tiny phone speaker. Re-sampling in Nstudio might remove any DRM if options are so set. Another way to strip DRM is to burn sound to audio CD-R or CD-RW and then rip back to WAV file.
