Windows 10: .wav file not playing

I have a disk with some .wav files that will not play on any app on this computer. I have tried the default app (Groove music) and Windows Media Player. When using Groove I get the following error code: 0xc00d5212. When using WMP it just says it "encountered a problem when playing the file".

Wav attachments will not play

Wav attachments from our Avaya phone system will not play on Windows 8 Phone. Avaya says they use a standard wav format and the issue is with the mobile device and suggests using another app to play the file or change phones.

I didn't have this problem with the Windows 7 phone.

I'm sure MS didn't remove functionality for such a simple file format. What can be done to fix this issue?

 

How play a .WAV file in Edge?

When I receive a Gmail message with an attached .WAV file I cannot play the .WAV file by clicking it in Edge. The only way I can play it is to save the file to my local hard drive and play the saved file. Is there a way to play the .WAV file in the browser?
Thanks.
