In octave, there is not function like wavplay or sound such in Matlab. Octave has own function to play audiofile i.e playaudio, but it is never work for me. Instead of repair the playaudio function in Octave, below is simple script function to play sound file in Octave.
Please copy the code below and paste to your PC (work on Ubuntu Linux) as playsound.m
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% This function play the singal x as a sound.
% playsound(x, fs, bits)
% x : a signal vector
% fs: sampling frequency in Hz
% bits: quantization bits
%
% If encounter a error, try to transpose a signal vector,
% like playsound(x',fs,bits)
function playsound(x,fs,bits)
if (nargin != 3)
usage("playsound(x,fs,bits)");
endif
file= strcat(tmpnam(),".wav");
wavwrite(file,x,fs,bits);
system(sprintf("/usr/bin/paplay %s ; rm -f %s",file,file));
endfunction
