title: .wav file not playing in audio element in HTML 5
body: <p>I am using following code to play the <code>.wav</code> file using the HTML5 audio player.</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;audio controls autoplay&gt;
      &lt;source src="test.wav" type="audio/wav"&gt;
      Your browser does not support the audio element.
  &lt;/audio&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The file is not played in the browser. I tried this in both IE Edge and Chrome and it does not work in both.</p>
  
  <p>If I try the <code>.mp3</code> format that works.  The documentation on internet seems to suggest that <code>.wav</code> format is supported.</p>
  
  <p>Is there some thing wrong in my code. Can we play <code>.wav</code> files in IE Edge and Chrome using the HTML5 audio element?</p>
  
  <p>Also if I directly open the <code>.wav</code> files in the browsers, then also the files are not played.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time, let me know in case any other information is needed.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  I seems like there is some problem in my <code>wav</code> files because if I try files from <a href="http://freewavesamples.com/files/Kawai-K11-CleanGtr-C3.wav" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://freewavesamples.com/files/Kawai-K11-CleanGtr-C3.wav</a> then it works but not with my local wav files.</p>
