I normally don't use music on a menu but thought I would try.
I opened DVD Lab and found an asset for music, something called "track 6", a 48 kHz .wav about 3:43 long. I added it to my assets. Next I selected something for a movie. A 5 minute clip of a lake and a tree. (don't ask)
Next, I selected a still background for the menu, added some text- "start", and added the .wav and linked the text to the movie. I then opened the connections window and established a link back to the menu when the movie finishes and set the menu to loop upon time-out.
I compiled it and burned it to a DVD+RW I had laying around.
(Track 6 happens to be Van Halen "Why can't this be love?" It is playing in my DVD player as I type this.)
What all this means is that you can add a .wav file to the menu and have it work properly. Did you add a loop to the menu? Is your .wav 48 kHz?
I would not give up yet, I actually like adding music to a still menu, and you should be able to do it.
I would not consider a test in your PC or X box valid. DVD Lab, like most other DVD programs are designed to let you create DVD-Video compliant discs. The DVD player will only play compliant discs. If there is an error in the .ifo file the computer may still play it, your DVD player needs an error free .ifo to know how to play the disc. Thats the simple version anyhow.
What could cause this? Improper links or bad media are two possibilities. Again, your computer can handle poor media much better than your DVD player, so that is something to look at also.
