I'm not on a Windows machine right now. But you should try

<audio src="file:///C:/classical/chopin.wav" controls ></audio>

Of course, this only works, if the webpage is viewed locally on your machine.

  • Hi, no luck, player appear but speaker disabled. Thanks for the suggestion even without windows machine. Once you are in front of windows, can you try? The criteria are: Google Chrome + Local audio file (must be .wav) + HTML5 Coding. Thank you! – moky Jun 15 '15 at 13:46

Keep your audio file in html folder and this code will work.

<audio controls>
  <source src="chopin.wav" type="audio/wav">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

  • Hi, all my wav files are stored in another file server, there are easily a few thousand of them (these are small wav file for voice recording for telesales). I am using azure website, and I can't store the file in the cloud as well. To the users, the audio (wav) files are at the local network drive F. – moky Jun 15 '15 at 13:34
