while playing this wav file in windows phone 7 its getting error.

var stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream("TestSound.WAV");
            var effect = SoundEffect.FromStream(stream);
            FrameworkDispatcher.Update();
            effect.Play();

And Its getting this exception on second line of code. 

Ensure that the specified stream contains valid PCM mono or stereo wave data.

I've played wav files lots...

What wav file are you trying to play?

Here's a very simple sound I've played before... http://iron7.com/forapp/xylo/x1.wav

I find the audacity tool is particularly useful for editing files into an acceptable format - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

  • Thanks Alot Stuart Your Sample Wav file runs for me. Can you please tell me how I can convert some mp3 files into wav format that can run on wp7 but I want to keep size low as these files are also be part of app and I dont want to make app size bigger. Please suggest. – Arslan Pervaiz Sep 30 '12 at 07:03
  • For playing mp3 you can use the mediaelement. For converting mp3->wav use http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ but this will increase the size. For more ideas, search on here or ask a new question – Stuart Sep 30 '12 at 07:22
  • XNA has it's own built-in compression for sound effects. [See my answer here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/7025544/165500). – Andrew Russell Sep 30 '12 at 11:25

You can use any of .wav files with these format criteria :

Codec: Microsoft PCM Format

Sample Rate: 11025

Channels: 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo)

Bit Depth: 16 Bit
