My voicemail is sent to me as a wav file attachment in an email. When I try play the wav file I get a unsupported file error message. It won't play directly from the attachment or after saving it to sd card.
Doesn't the stock media player play wav files? If not why not? It seems ludicrous not to support wav as wav is one of the oldest media formats around. Is this a Samsung thing or Android problem?
I really don't want to have to load another app just for wav files.

Hmmm, that's strange as mine doesn't play the wav attachments. I'm running on a rooted stock KE7 rom.
I wonder if the email client (Enhanced Email) is doing something to the wav file. I'll have to experiment a little by copying a few wav files directly to the gs2 and seeing if they play. I've done some googling and see I'm not the only one with this problem but found no answers on how to resolve.
What rom and version are you running?
OK, I just tried playing a wav file (a random sound file I had) that I copied directly to the phone and it played fine.
I then tried downloading the wav attachment directly from the mail server via webmail to bypass the mail client on the phone and saved that to the phone but it won't play. It seems that the encoding of the wav file by the voicemail system is to blame
I'm having the same issue. Voicemails that I receive to my email are encoded in .wav and they won't playback on my device. Running latest Cognition rom...

Try searching Google for wav converting software. Its free and when you convert the file you should be able to play on your atom as message tone.
I've never had a problem with Nero
ya. i dun know why. the wav file that has already been inside the atom life itself can be played on the media player.
but the wav that i put inside cant be played at all.
any help?
I am unable to play .wav files on my fascinate. Specifically MajicJack email attachments. I'm sure they used to play. I've read a few places that this was a problem with froyo. Is there any fix/workaround?
You can just download a media player with wav support: I use RockPlayer Lite, as it's free and supports a lot of formats (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.redirectin.rockplayer.android.unified.lite).
IIRC you'll also need to use Gmail's mobile website to download the attachment... the native Gmail app has problems previewing wav's in third-party media players.
I had the same problem on my SGS II (MagicJack files). Use PowerAMP media player, works everytime.
My voicemail system sends notification via email and attaches recorded audio of the voicemail as a compressed .wav file (ยต-law algorithm). Android core audio only supports uncompressed .wav files (PCM) so I was getting an "Unable to play this type of audio file" message.
Hurrah! I found an app that will play the compressed .wav files. WavPlayer by Dennis Lockshine. It's available on Google play. Totally worth 99 cents.
I'm looking for the same thing. Need something to play .wav files. I use magicjack at the house, so I'm hoping this will work.

Did it work?
My phone system e-mails me my voicemails as WAV file attachments (doesn't support anything else). Apparently WP8 does not natively support playback of these files. I have installed an app that will play them but it doesn't seem to be accessible from within the e-mail app. Anyone have a suggestion on how to playback WAV received in an e-mail?
I can directly play them from the email attachment.. No need for additional apps..
Just tap it once to download the *.wav attachment and when the download finished tap it again to play the *.wav file...
Evidently there are a few different WAV encoding or encapsulations. Not every voicemail system uses the same one. In fact, Windows Phone 7 used to play a friend of mine's voicemail system's WAV files just fine, but his new Windows Phone 8 won't.
If you find a WAV that works, and one that doesn't, opening it in something like Audacity can tell you if there is something funky like a bit rate or some other audio compression CODEC that might render it unplayable. Doesn't help unless they can convert to MP3 or something...
There are tons of threads about this over here:

Great...I'm NEVER going to get my users off iPhone as long as I have to hunt down workarounds for simple things like this.
Voice mails on WAVE?
That is such a waste of bandwidth, when the same could've been done on mp3 or amr format.
But seriously, why all this limitations with file formats on Windows Phone 8? It is ridiculous.
Same issue here. Really shameful and makes me wonder why I trusted MS and WP8 in the first place.
WAV is just a container format, like AVI. Most of the time, WAV is used for uncompressed PCM data, but it's possible to shove pretty much anything in there, including MP3 and various oddball formats. Saying that a given piece of software doesn't play back WAV is an invalid complaint. Figure out what's inside the WAV file, and then complain about that.
Dear all,
I am new to the LG G5.
I have a question about wav files. In my old mobile phone (one+) the wave files was just playable in different players.
If I go to the installed Dateimanager I can't open a wav file this explorer only offer graphic apps to open the wav files.
With the App "root explorer" I can link up to a player and play it.
But this is not like it should be, or am I wrong?
The wav files are not visible direct in the player.
Did I do something wrong or forgot something to do?
Best regards
Simarilon

Sorry to ask again.
Are your wave files visible in any music player app?
Am I the only one with this issue?
Best regards
