WAV file plays properly in WMP but not through the MediaElement?

I know this has been asked before but am still not able to play a wav file in wpf.

This is the code I am using.

 <MediaElement Name="mediaSound" LoadedBehavior="Manual" Source="Alarm10.wav"/>

and

  try
        {
            mediaSound.Play();
        }
        catch (Exception a)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(a.Message);
        }

No exception is thrown and the sound is not played.

Because there is nothing wrong with the markup, I'm left to only believe that the location of Alarm10.wav is not in the bin\* directory in which the application is executing out of.

Another thing that needs to be evaluated is the volume level of the MediaElement, for example:

mediaSound.Volume = .75;

EDIT

The OP confirmed it was the location of the WAV file that was the problem. When providing a path, it's relative to the WorkingDirectory of the application. During debugging this is the directory in which it's executing out of (generally).
