VLC plays just about anything without the need to install additional codecs, especially .wav files. If the file won't play then there may be an issue with the file.

Not sure then, i play every file you can imagine in VLC and I don't install any codecs. Not sure what to tell you on this.<br />
When you attempt to play the file what error does it give?

.wav files don't require a codec.. they are simply pulse code modulation raw files.<br />
&nbsp;My question is do other audio files play properly?

I cannot get windows 7 computer to play back .wav files. &nbsp; I've tried Media Player, VLC, Real player. &nbsp;It must be missing a codec pack but I cannot find anything online. &nbsp; Any help would be awesome. <br />

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.
