C500 won't play .WAV files?!

[Guest Matty.PW]

After using Clear Storage to set my SPV C500 back to factory to give to my girlfriend.... it now wont play WAV files :??:

If you try to open WAV files with Media Player it says "alert; An object or name was not found". Trying to use the .WAV file as an SMS alert just results in the phone playing the "ding" file instead (the same as it does when WAV files are set to open with any other program apart from WMP)

Any help on this?

Thanks

It should play .wav files, as thats what the phone uses for ringtones. On mine if you open the file from file manager directly (as opposed to using media player) it will play it. As for setting it as an SMS alert, im not sure. I know how to set it as a ringtone, but i dont think the process works the same. There is probably a folder you have to put all of the alert tones in, but since ive had this thing for a week, i have yet to find it.

even thought by default it should play wav's - tried upgrading the ROM?

Same problem for me ;) can't set it as ringtone - just get 'ding' noise...

I have latest rom update too

The 'ding' sound is usually caused by the wav file not being PCM-format.

Use Windows Sound Recorder to Save As - it's in Accessories, Entertainment on your PC.
