What sample rate is WAV?
44.1 kHz
The WAV audio format was developed by Microsoft and has become one of the primary formats of uncompressed audio. It stores audio at about 10 MB per minute at a 44.1 kHz sample rate using stereo 16-bit samples.
What is the full form of WAV?
Waveform Audio File Format (WAVE, or WAV due to its filename extension; pronounced “wave”) is an audio file format standard, developed by IBM and Microsoft, for storing an audio bitstream on PCs.
What are the limitations of the WAV format?

[citation needed] Although this is equivalent to about 6.8 hours of CD-quality audio (44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo),…
What kind of audio can you use in a WAV file?
Audio in WAV files can be encoded in a variety of audio coding formats, such as GSM or MP3, to reduce the file size. This is a reference to compare the monophonic (not stereophonic) audio quality and compression bitrates of audio coding formats available for WAV files including PCM, ADPCM, Microsoft GSM 06.10,…
