Hey! Dont ne One know About Java SOUND???!!

[gautham kasinath]

Hi!
Well I am trying to use Java Sound or Applet.AudioClip to play a wave or midi file..
This is my third post and yet no one has replied to the same..
I wonder if we still have those ranch hands, Bartenders and sheriffs who are still green horns on Java Sound.
Well here is some enlightenment for ya all..

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.net.URL;
public class myPlayer extends Applet
{
   static AudioClip playClip;
   
   public static void main(String a[]) throws Exception
   {
       playClip = Applet.newAudioClip(new URL("file:c:/myWave.wav"));
       playClip.play();
   }
}

The Above Code is supposed to play the Audio clip that I present .. but it doesnot. nor does it gimme any runtime/compiletime errors..
I ve been wondering why this is happenning..
well those who know please answer.. and those who dont cud @least thank me for enlightening them

hi gautham
if all you want is to play the audioclip, i would recommend that
you use JMF. of course u can use JavaSound, but JMF makes things
simpler..
here's a sample code :
player = Manager.createPlayer(new URL("file://foo.wav"));
player.start ();
that's it!!!
hope this helps.

hello!
only *.au files can be played with yr.code.
i tried many times with other files but with no output.if you play any .au files it will work.some of them are in jdk demo directory.
for other files i think there is no support with the packages you imported.may be javax.sound.* may be helpful to you.

Hi!
Well cud you gimme a complete code please b coz I m new to JMF and I cudnt understand which class s' instance u r creating player as..

first u have to download JMF 2.1 from java.sun.com/
install jmf on ur machine
then run the foll code..
import javax.media.*;
import javax.media.rtp.*;
import java.net.*;
public class RTPPlayer implements ControllerListener {
Player player;
public RTPPlayer() {
try {
URL url = new URL("file://foo.wav.gsm");
player = Manager.createPlayer(url);
player.addControllerListener(this);
player.start ();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}// RTPPlayer
public void controllerUpdate( ControllerEvent evt) {
}

public static void main (String args[]) {
RTPPlayer rtpPlayer = new RTPPlayer();
System.out.println ("starting to play...");
}
}
this is just a rough code..but will serve
the purpose.
you have to stop the player using player.stop();
otherwise it continues to run in the background.
happy coding

I think what's happening is that your app is exiting before the audio gets a chance to actually play. Try using Thread.sleep after invoking play and see what happens.

Hi!
I tried the Thread.sleep() at the code but that is not working.
I am not sure why..
Anyway the last post gave me an insight into how to play a clip using the javax.sound.* and that really worked.. ]
Thanks anyway
Please let me know what may be the problem.

hi gautham
glad to know that u r happy. i wish some 1 would help me out too.
even i am having some problems with straming media.
but its rather simple to start with.
and to tell u something, JMF uses JavaSound for its functionality
if u want some examples u could start with the user-guide of JMF
some really neat examples are listed there.
JMF-RTP could be the section you are looking out for..
happy coding.
and hey! call me stanley. lets all be friends
