AudioInputStream not working

When I embed my resource and use the follwoing:

 getClass().getResourceAsStream("sound.wav")

I get the following:

could not get audio input stream from input stream

If I link directly to the file it works fine.

Solution

  • If I link directly to the file it works fine.

    It seems that you mean File or URL by that. (Can you confirm that & which one you mean, if so?) In that case, you'll often find that Java Sound requires a repositionable InputStream, which is (strangely) not what getResourceAsStream() returns.

    The solution to that problem is to load the sound from URL. Obtain the URL using something like:

    URL urlToClip = this.getClass().getResource("sound.wav");
// sanity check!
System.out.println("urlToClip: " + urlToClip);
