Unable to play simple wav file

I am using the following code:

[y,Fs] = wavread('track.wav');
sound(y,Fs)

to play a track using matlab.

However, I received the following error:

??? Error using ==> playsnd
Data must have one or two columns.

Error in ==> sound at 58
playsnd(y,fs,bits);

What could have possibly caused this problem?

Well, it looks like your data has not one or two columns :-)

I suggest that you post the result of

whos y Fs

Another marvelous example for the smart error messages of Matlab. They are simply worth to read.
