Hello everybody
Please,I want to do the convolution on my speech signal using conv() How can I do that??
This is my signal
f=8000;
b=8;
[s1,f,b]=wavread('C:\Users\N\Desktop\sara.wav');

Yes,I did that previously
But I have this error
??? Error using ==> conv at 27
A and B must be vectors.

First of all, this
f=8000;
b=8;
is useless information because it will be rewritten anyway below, unless this information is given to you and you don't fully describe the required task. ASSUMING that your professor wants you to perform convolution of the recorded signal with itself, you can perform this:
[s1,f]=wavread('C:\Users\N\Desktop\family.wav');
s2 = conv(s1(1,:),s1(1,:)); %using all columns from the first row
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(s1(1,:))
subplot(2,1,2)
plot(s2)
Of course, the resulting signal will be nothing like the initial signal.

Sara has a two-channel wav file so s1 is not a vector.

[conv(s1(:,1),s(:,1), 'same'), conv(s1(:,2), s1(:,2), 'same')]
That is for convolving each channel with itself. If for some reason you wanted to convolve left with right, then it would be
conv(s1(:,1), s1(:,2), 'same')

@ sara correct the type error from walter conv(s1(:,1),s(:,1)
correction
conv(s1(:,1),s1(:,1),
s1 was missing. if it does not work, then try to upgrade the version of Matlab that support the recording card system

How about:
clc; % Clear the command window.
close all; % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
imtool close all; % Close all imtool figures.
clear; % Erase all existing variables.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
fontSize = 24;
fullFileName = 'C:\Users\N\Desktop\sara.wav';
if exist(fullFileName, 'file')
[s1,f,b]=wavread(fullFileName);
subplot(2,1,1);
plot(s1);
grid on;
title('Original Signal', 'FontSize', fontSize);
windowSize = 201; % or whatever.
s1_filtered = conv(s1, ones(1, windowSize ) / windowSize );
subplot(2,1,2);
plot(s1_filtered);
grid on;
title('Filtered Signal', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Enlarge figure to full screen.
set(gcf, 'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]); % Maximize figure.
set(gcf,'name','Demo by ImageAnalyst','numbertitle','off')
else
message = sprintf('File not found:\n%s', fullFileName);
uiwait(warndlg(message));
end
