Why can't I play sounds?

I am making a simple game and I want to play sounds this is what I have, but it is not working! Any help is appreciated.

Code :

---

package Game;
 
import javax.swing.JFrame;
 
public class Main{
 
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
 
	private final int HEIGHT = 240 ;
	private final int WIDTH = (HEIGHT / 8 ) * 6;
	private final int SCALE = 3;
 
	private boolean load = false;
 
	public static void main (String [] args){
		new Main();
	}
 
		public Main(){
 
 
				try {
					java.applet.AudioClip clip =
					java.applet.Applet.newAudioClip(
					new java.net.URL("file://c:/res/hl2.wav")); //Won't work
					clip.play();
					} catch (java.net.MalformedURLException murle) {
					System.out.println(murle);
					}
 
 
			JFrame f = new JFrame("Half Life 3");
 
			//f.add(new Board());
 
			f.setSize((HEIGHT - 3) * SCALE , WIDTH * SCALE);
			f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
			f.setVisible(true);
			f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
			f.setResizable(false);
		}
	}

Try rewriting the code to be an applet and see if when executed as an applet it plays a sound.

how do I do that? I am an absolute beginner to GUI. Can you please provide me with an easy tutorial!

I have not tested your code and at this moment I have no time for this. But I can tell you a thing that is worth to know: the .wav file format is a quite complex format with many possible bitrates and codecs/compressions. It's very possible that your sound file format is one of those not supported by the Java framework.

See WAV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, you'll find a list of some formats with samples. Try these samples to verify if it's your code that is wrong or your sound file.
