Sound I/O is badly broken on anything that isn't using Linux's Open Sound System. Nowadays, this usually doesn't even include Linux, since OSS is frequently considered "legacy". All of the audio functions in Octave are badly in need of a rewrite so that they actually work.
Sound input from a sound card and output to a sound card is fully supported in Octave 4.0.0 and newer in all operating systems. Older versions of Octave had very limited audio support that was essentially Linux-specific. If you have problems with the audio I/O functions using Octave 4.0 or a newer version, please report them on the [http://bugs.octave.org bug tracker].
