*.wav not working as ringers?

[Guest theHAGGIS]

I have some *.wav files im trying to use as ringers/alerts...but all i get when i select them is a ding sound. If i navigate to them, and select them it says "this file format is unsupported." However if I open them up in MP10, it plays fine....What am I doing wrong...?

Tried the files in

\windows

\Storage\Application Data\Sounds

\Storage\My Documents\My Sounds

This is a smt5600 (SP2003)

ps: oops..put this in the wrong place..

Possibly the format of the .wav files? What format are they?

Opened it up in MediaPlyr/Properties

All it said was MPEG Layer-3

If this is wrong format can you point me to a faq or thread to explain what i need to do to convert it...cheers

I attached the file just in case.

Mail.wav

That would be an mp3 then, not a wav.

I thought the SMT5600 came with WMP10, which would play an mp3 ringtone.

Maybe it will work if you change the file extension to .mp3 ?

changed it to *.mp3 but no luck so i just recoded it into a wave again..using Switch Sound Format Converter very simple to use software...just like me :)

Now it works fine...

Wav files need to be PCM-formatted.

Load them into Windows Sound Recorder and Save As.
