Some questions:
1. WP76 or WP77?
2. Which firmware version are you using?
3. Have you tried other wav files? Same result or different?

I guess it seems WP77 does not have the audio function.

Do you mean WP77xx Release 7? That was released in January, 2018 and since then Release 8, 9 and 9.1 have been done. I’m not saying that this will definitely fix your problem, but is there a reason why you’re not using the latest release?

Hi dfrey,
Thanks for your response.
The mangoH red board, which i bought, came with default Legato release 7.
Do you suggest any latest releases, where audio(ALSA) works…?
Thanks & Regards,
