Matlab R2017a audioread doesn't open WAV files

I am trying to open up a .wav file in Matlab R2017a using audioread and get the following error "Error using audioread (line 88) The file type is not supported'. Online searches suggest using wavread (which is not in R2017a release). Also other users suggest using Import Data button which appears to not import .wav files as expected. Any ideas?

Refer to the following link. Make sure that you are able to load the wav file shipped with MATLAB. If this works fine, then the issue is related to the wav file that you are trying to import.

Thx for response! When I try "load handle.mat" I get, "Error using load Unable to read file 'handle.mat'. No such file or directory. This is on both R2017a (windows) and R2016b (mac) versions. I'm unclear why if this is standard it is not on either version. Is there a place I can download handle.mat or another possible test file?

The name is "handel" not "handle"
