wavread does not work on matlab 2009a (64bit windows) [index exceeds matrix dimensions]

i've succsessfully used wavread to read different .wav files on a linux based system.

the same code does not work on an older windwos version of matlab. i always get:

??? Error using ==> wavread at 166
Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

code snippelet looks like this:

sweeps = wavread('RockOrgan Vs Clarinet Stat/Clarinet261Hz(start).wav',2*SR)';

where SR is 44,1khz.

what could be the reason?

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

Are you certain that the file has 2*SR or more samples in it?

Answer 2

[Richard]

actually yes, the file is around a minute long and everything worked perfectly fine on the other system

Please show the traceback including the line of wavread() that gives the problem.

Please use

which -all wavread

to ensure that you are not accidentally getting a wavread that you do not expect.

Which MATLAB version are you using?

[Richard]

thx for the answer:

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2009a\toolbox\matlab\audiovideo\wavread.m

>> wavread('C.wav', 88200)

??? Error using ==> wavread at 166

Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

catch exception

fclose(fid);

throw(exception);

end

line 166 is the throw clause
