The IE10 on Win8 or RT does not support wav, however, IE10 Mobile does! I attache the screenshots so you can see which formats are supported on both IE10s.

The top one is IE10 (Metro) on Windows 8 RT, and the bottom is IE10 Mobile on WP8 / Lumia 920. (For whatever reasons, the mobile ver is displayed larger here.)
