Question

I am reading a .wav file in Matlab. Then I play the read file with a specified sampling frequency 44100Hz. But when I try to play a file sampled at low sampling frequency, it gets played as if I am playing it in fast forward mod and thats because the sampling frequency at which I am playing is higher than at which the file is sampled.

So my question is How can I find the sampling frequency of a file I read using wavread() in Matlab. I tried to convert the read signal in frequency spectrum and then pass the magnitude of the fft() signal but it didn’t work.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Observe that wavread can return sampling frequency Fs as follows:

[y, Fs] = wavread(filename)
