with diferent encoding to but didnt work , but if i pass this 
'C:\Users\Furqan\Desktop\test\DAW\1.wav' it works fine , Thanks is advance 

My Code is 
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
from scikits.audiolab import Sndfile
from os import walk, path, stat

track1 =  r'C:\Users\Furqan\Desktop\test\查找問題daw\查找問題d.wav'
#track2 = r'C:\Users\Furqan\Desktop\test\DAW\1.wav'

#try:
track_one_file_obj = Sndfile(track1, 'r')
#except:

try:
    track_one_file_obj = Sndfile(track1.decode('cp1252'), 'r')
except:
    print('cp1252 didnt work')
    pass

try:
    track_one_file_obj = Sndfile(track1.encode('utf-8'), 'r')
