I've tried
different volumes, different speakers, different
computers, different positions of the remote
I believe it is an inductive pickup design rather than a microphone, meaning it doesn't hear the sound, instead it senses the magnetic field created by a cheap speaker playing the sound.
Do you have the ability to play the sound through the PC's crappy built in speaker rather than through decent speakers? If so, it would help a lot to open the PC up and either get close to the back side of the speaker or detach the speaker from the case, so you don't have the case metal blocking the magnetic field.
This is all a long shot, since you already tried different speakers and think the file is for the right model remote, etc.
