Audio Problem

[J Cleary]

Hello, i am looking for how to play wav files in a java application please?

[Keith Lynn]

One way is by using the method newAudioClip in java.applet.Applet

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

The Java Media Framework (JMF) is what you need to use. The applet sound capability doesn't work outside of a browser or appletviewer, and support for various formats is extremely spotty.

I agree the Java Media Framework is better, but they did add a static method called newAudioClip to the Applet class that gives you some support for audio outside of an applet.

public class PlayWav {
 
   public static void main(String[] args) throws java.io.IOException {
      java.applet.AudioClip clip = java.applet.Applet.newAudioClip(new java.io.File("quack.wav").toURL());
 
      clip.play();
 
      try {
         Thread.sleep(2000);
      } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
      }
   }
 
}
