Hi, I get an error when I try to play a sound…

I have a button, the scripting code is:

```auto
path = system.file.openFile("wav")
if path != None:
    bytes = system.file.readFileAsBytes(path)
    event.source.parent.getComponent("Sound Player").soundData = bytes
```

And when I click on it, select a wav file I got this:

[ul]  
UnsupportedAudioFileException: could not get audio input stream from input stream  
Ignition v7.7.6 (b2015120217)  
Java: Oracle Corporation 1.8.0\_73  
[/ul]

Any suggestion or comment will be appreciate!

Regards!
