-
-The [WAV Player API](../../api/common/latest/group__CAPI__MEDIA__WAV__PLAYER__MODULE.html) provides controlling functions for using audio resources (media files stored on the device). Use the WAV Player API to enable your application to play audio and control playback. You can use the WAV and OGG audio formats.
-
-Tizen enables your application to play WAVE format audio in 1 of 2 ways:
-
-- Through the multimedia application control
-
-  When using the [multimedia application control](../app-management/common-appcontrols.md#multimedia), the device standard media player application is launched to play audio.
-
-- With the WAV player functions
-
-  When [using the WAV player functions](#start_wav), your application plays audio using its own user interface.
-
-Most operations of the WAV Player API work in a synchronous mode. The WAV Player API requires a callback to notify the application of the operational status of the player. The callback must be implemented and passed to stop the WAV playback.
-
-Multiple instances of the WAV player can be used to play several audio data streams concurrently. This means that your application can play multiple uncompressed audio files, such as WAV, at the same time.

-## Tone Player
-
-Tizen enables your application to play a tone or a list of tones using the [Tone Player API](../../api/common/latest/group__CAPI__MEDIA__TONE__PLAYER__MODULE.html).
-
-You can generate tones in 2 ways:
-
-- Specify the frequency values. You can specify either 1 or 2 frequencies.
-- Use a DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) preset frequency value of the [`tone_type_e`](../../api/common/latest/group__CAPI__MEDIA__TONE__PLAYER__MODULE.html#gaf12912b2c8f9ffe720518ce797506574) enumerator.

-## Starting and Stopping the WAV Player
-
-To start and stop the WAV player:
-
-1. Start playback using the `wav_player_start_new()` function.
-
-   The second parameter should be sound information handle which can created by `sound_manager_create_stream_information()`.
-
-   The third parameter defines a callback that is invoked when the player finishes playback. Implement the callback and handle any post-playback actions in it.
-
-   The final parameter returns the WAV player ID, which you need to stop the player.

-   static void
-   _playback_completed_cb(int id, void *user_data)

-       const char* path = (const char*)user_data;

-       ret = wav_player_start_new(wav_path, stream_info, _playback_completed_cb, (void*)wav_path, &wav_player_id);
-   }
-   ```
-
-   To set the path of your WAV file, you may need to retrieve the default path for audio files. For more information, see the [Data Storages](../data/data-storages.md) guide.
-
-2. To stop the WAV player, use the `wav_player_stop()` function with the ID of the WAV player:

-## Playing a Tone
-
-To start and stop playing a tone:
-
-1. Start playback using the `tone_player_start_new()` function.
-
-   The first parameter should be the [`tone_type_e`](../../api/common/latest/group__CAPI__MEDIA__TONE__PLAYER__MODULE.html#gaf12912b2c8f9ffe720518ce797506574) enumerators which can define the available values for the tone type.
-
-   The second parameter should be sound information handle which can created by `sound_manager_create_stream_information()`.
-
-   ```
-   tone_player_start_new(TONE_TYPE_DEFAULT, stream_info, -1, &tone_player_id);
-   ```
-
-   The player ID is assigned and returned if the function succeeds. The ID of the tone player that starts first is 0, the ID of the second one is 1, and so on. If you set the player ID parameter to `NULL`, the ID is not returned.
-
-2. To stop playback, use the `tone_player_stop()` function with the ID of the player you want to stop:
-
-   ```
-   tone_player_stop(tone_player_id);
-   ```
-
-<a name="duration"></a>
-## Playing a Tone for a Specified Duration
-
-To play a tone for a specified duration, use the `tone_player_start_new()` function with the duration (third parameter) set to the number of milliseconds you want playback to last:
-
-```
-tone_player_start_new(TONE_TYPE_SUP_CONGESTION, stream_info, 1000, &tone_player_id);
-```
-
-When you set the duration to a specified time, playback stops automatically after that time. You can also stop playback manually using the `tone_player_stop()` function.
