If there is no OS, there can't be a file system either.
How are you proposing to load the .WAV file to be played?
How are you going to locate the appropriate audio device?

I will read the sectors using INT13 BIOS and the disk already has a FAT file system.

but you would need to write a whole media player and a driver for the sound card.

Seems like you're up on the issues, what's holding you back?

Just punch "wav file format" into a search engine, and start reading.
