Users attempting to encode WAV audio to an MKV video file will find numerous media editing programs and (online) converters allowing them to directly convert WAVE Audio Files to Matroska Video Files (.wav to .mkv conversion).

You won't go wrong using tools, such as SUPER or Freemake Video Converter, as these allow you to import WAV audio files and export them in MKV format.

However, a WAV to MKA conversion might be more useful.
