How do you add PCM Compression to .wav files?

I don't have idea of which program you use to export files in .wav format, but in the exporting options there should be the option to export in audio wave format with PCM compression. I suggest to use Audacity program for this.

Well, I think that any sounds editing program that can export in audio wave format can do that with PCM compresion. BTW, the PCM compression is the default one of the .wav audio format, as I think.

For my first car projects, I just used Windows Sound Recorder.

In fact you're right Anthony, the wave files aren't compressed. The PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) is an audio format of the wave files, not a compression type.
