Tips for Installing Octave

How to get Sound.m to work in Windows

First make sure you have the audio 1.1.4 package installed in octave forge.

Install sox to the octave bin dir.

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox/14.3.2/sox-14.3.2-win32.exe/download

Or extract the contents of the sox-14.3.2 folder inside the zip folder into the bin dir.

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox/14.3.2/sox-14.3.2-win32.zip/download

Open sound.m from

 .\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\packages\audio-1.1.4

Edit sound.m by commenting out line 99 and paste the following right after

 if(file_in_path(EXEC_PATH, "sox.exe"))
 sound_play_utility = "sox.exe -t AU - -d";
