Audio In My Program

Hi, i would really appreciate any help on this one. I am trying to get my java game created with the ACM package to play sound effects. I have all the .wav files i need and added to the package but have tried many things to get them to play in the program but nothing seems to work.
I have tried for example :

AudioClip hit = new AudioClip("hit.wav") ;
hit.play();

AudioClip hit = MediaTools.loadAudioClip("hit.wav");
hit.play();

AudioClip = getAudioClip("hit.wav");

MediaClip hit = new MediaClip("hit.wav");


does anyone have any idea what to do please? thanks

You could download the source for this program, which plays a song in the background: Little Bird, Fly Away

I need to get the game to make a sound effect everytime the ball hits off something etc. its just not happening for me.. any ideas??

Did you look at the code in the source files I linked? It only takes maybe 3 lines to play a sound.

ya i tried it.. but it still doesn't work for some reason.. thanks anyway.

Can you please post your code.

When you say Kevins code doesn't work, does it give an error? Does any sound play at all?

this is the method i use.. and i call it from the main program by putting startSound() wherever i need the sound effect. no sound plays and come many errors below in the console when it tries to run this.

Code java:

---

// play sound effect 
	public void startSound(){
		try{
			AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(getClass().getResource("hit.wav"));
			sound = AudioSystem.getClip();
			sound.open(stream);
			sound.start();
		}
		catch(Exception e){
			e.printStackTrace();
			sound = null;
		}
	}
    }

When you post code, it should be in the form of an SSCCE so that we can copy, paste, and run it. Also, use the code or highlight tags to preserve formatting. I've edited your post to do so.

What are these "many errors"? We can't guess at what's going on- you have to be very specific. Copy and paste the whole stack trace, along with the SSCCE that demonstrates the problem, and we'll go from there.
