I have this script that only works once the system preferences is open and giving this error. "System Events got an error: Can’t get window \"sound\" of process \"System Preferences\"." number -1728 from window "sound" of process "System Preferences"

here is the script
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"
get properties
tell process "System Preferences"
delay 3
click menu item "Sound" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
delay 2
set theRows to every row of table 1 of scroll area 1 of ¬
tab group 1 of window "sound"
set theOutputs to {} as list
repeat with aRow in theRows
copy (value of text field 1 of aRow as text) to the end of theOutputs
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
activate
set desiredOutput to display dialog ¬
"Choose Sound Output: " buttons theOutputs default button "Headphones"
end tell
repeat with aRow in theRows
if (value of text field 1 of aRow as text) is equal to ¬
(button returned of desiredOutput as text) then
set selected of aRow to true
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
tell application "System Preferences" to quit

BTW I'm on the new mavericks
