Are you trying to convert the HEX codes into WAV files that you can play via an audio output port using two IR diodes? You first need to know the type of HEX format being used - NEC etc.

If the remote is using NEC format, you can convert the hex codes to pronto format and then use the pronto2wav program to generate the wav files.

Here are a few other ideas (pronto2wav python code in second last link) ...

You can do this with hardware instead of the audio port, which would probably be more reliable.
Code is in my github, and I would simply use a USB-to-Serial adapter and toggle the IR LEDs from one of those pins.
