Plating an audio (.wav) file in matlab.

Hello

I found it very interesting that an audio file could be played using matlab. But I am unable to figure out the problem with the code that I am using to do so. I used the following code to play the file and get the samples:

hfile = 'w1.wav';

clear y Fs

% Read the data back into MATLAB, and listen to audio.

[y, Fs, nbits, readinfo] = wavread(hfile);

y,Fs,nbits,readinfo;

sound (y, Fs);

*??? Error using ==> wavread at 166 Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your options.

Error in ==> project at 7 [y, Fs, nbits, readinfo] = wavread(hfile);*

Could anyone please tell me where I am going wrong or provide an alternative. Akso, I am using the awvread function, should I use some other function?

Thanks
