Waveform Audio File Format, also known as WAVE or WAV, is an audio format developed by IBM and Microsoft. The WAV audio format was first developed in August 1991. Though a WAV file can contain compressed audio, the most common WAV audio format is uncompressed audio in the linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) format. Since LPCM is uncompressed and retains all of the samples of an audio track, professional users or audio experts may use the WAV format with LPCM audio for maximum audio quality.
