[java] Java sound?? Does it even exist
Author
Am I going crazy, or does java completely lack in the sound department? Ok, ok, I know it''s there, but I''m having one heck of a time getting to it. What I''ve got is something like this:
If I do this or something similar, I get it to compile and run fine, execpt no sound, or if I use slightly different methods, I get an incorect format error. Basically I''m looking for either some tuts or someone to tell me howw to chage the format. By the way I have looked and the javagaming tutorials for this, but I just want something as simple as possible and easy to understand. THanks a ton.
No, Java does have sound capabilities. I''ve never worked with them myself. My partner actually put together some voice recognition code in Java that accessed a database upon verbal command. It was pretty cool, but it wasn''t easy. Keep trying. In the meantime, this post I''m making will bump this question back up to the top for you.

I think the sound has to be in .au format. I am not 100% sure about that, but that is the way it has always worked for me. I could never get .wav sounds to play either, but if I converted them to .au they would play. GoldWave is a good free program that can convert wav to au. Good luck!
If you had visited Google and searched for Java Sound you would have found this was the first result.
quote:Sun''s reference implementation for the Java Sound API, also known as the Java Sound engine, is a 64 channel audio rendering and MIDI controlled sound synthesis engine which offers reliable, high quality sound on all JavaTM 2 Platforms. This implementation also supports a set of high-quality General MIDI sound banks.
Nice try, oh wise one, but I don''t think that is what he is looking for, since he mentioned WAV and not MIDI.

Forgive me good sir, but I assumed that the javax.sound.sampled API would do the trick. Thankfully you''re here to point out my ignorance.

What wayfarerX was doing is encouraging Jonbca to use the excellent search facilities that are made available to people (such as google). It helps him/her help him/herself.
On the other hand, you do need to read what''s been posted, not just glance at the first line, and make your own conclusions. In fact, it does say audio playback and recording on the first line and what you quoted wasn''t the first line.
Hope I didn''t come across as being too confrontational.

Since you''re using it in an applet, odds are you''re trying it out under IE, which supports only .AU sound files. It is possible to play .WAV and .MID on the JRE 1.3 (and later), but not on the previous versions (I only use those two sound types on independent programs, since IE has a share of around 90%... at least on the people who visit my sites).

Information is available on the internet. Load of it even. If you took a look at WayfarerX's post, he posted the direct link to what was asked, and pointed to google, because that's probably where he got the link from. He didn't play the poster down.
As for the original post, he's looking for some tuts, which he clearly got. I know it probably sounds rude and elitist, but you should make an effort to search for stuff, before asking.
