    Presumably your file is not a PCM wave file, whatever exactly that is. What happens if you double-click that file in Windows Explorer? Does it play properly? If so then I guess Windows has support for different wave formats but the API used by that method doesn't. Perhaps you should Google to find out exactly what a PCM wave file is and if and how it differs from any other type of wave file.

    Edit: Just took my own advice and found that wave files normally store data in the uncompressed PCM format but can contain compressed audio too. That I didn't know, but it suggests that perhaps your file is compressed and Windows, or at least the API being used by My.Computer.Audio.Play, supports only the uncompressed PCM format.
