The code works fine when uploading a file, but for some reason I am not able to play, pause, or resume the audio. I used several tutorials to get the functions to help play the audio, but when I uploaded the file I had to upload it twice and an exception was displayed which was

java.io.IOException: mark/reset not supported
I wonder what was the issue going on with the code. The app I used to code is Visual Studio Code.

If you provide a URL instead of an InputStream as an argument to AudioSystem.getAudioStream, the requirement that the media resource supports marking and resetting is circumvented. This can be observed by comparing the APIs for the two methods.
AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(InputStream)
AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(URL)
Only the method that takes InputStream includes these checks:
The implementation of this method may require multiple parsers to
examine the stream to determine whether they support it. These parsers
must be able to mark the stream, read enough data to determine whether
they support the stream, and reset the stream's read pointer to its
original position. If the input stream does not support these
operations, this method may fail with an IOException.
So, rewriting the code to obtain a URL for your resource instead of an InputStream should solve your problem, unless you explicitly need to have the AudioInputStream support marking and resetting. I've not come across such a scenario myself. Would be interesting in learning about situations where this capability is used.
EDIT: I overlooked that you are trying to load an mp3. Java doesn't directly support this or many of the other files on your list of audio. You will need to include additional libraries and code to handle these. The following (executed in jshell) can show what formats are supported:
jshell> import javax.sound.sampled.*;
jshell> AudioFileFormat.Type[] types = AudioSystem.getAudioFileTypes();
types ==> AudioFileFormat$Type[3] { WAVE, AU, AIFF }
More documentation can be found in the JavaSound section of the TroubleShooting Guide.

Adding sound to game. Help needed

So I have this code, and I would like to know how could I join it with the rest of my game, 'cause the only way it plays sound now is by selecting this class as a launcher. Also, could I get some info, what exactly is changed and why. I feel like I should get a better understanding of this code, since I just found the code, and pasted it :D
Code:
package main;
import main.Handler;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.Clip;
import javax.sound.sampled.DataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineEvent;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineListener;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException;
public class AudioPlayer implements LineListener {
boolean playCompleted;
void play(String audioFilePath) {
File audioFile = new File(audioFilePath);
try {
AudioInputStream audioStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(audioFile);
AudioFormat format = audioStream.getFormat();
DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, format);
Clip audioClip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
audioClip.addLineListener(this);
audioClip.open(audioStream);
audioClip.start();
while (!playCompleted) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
audioClip.close();
} catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException ex) {
System.out.println("The specified audio file is not supported.");
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (LineUnavailableException ex) {
System.out.println("Audio line for playing back is unavailable.");
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Error playing the audio file.");
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void update(LineEvent event) {
LineEvent.Type type = event.getType();
if (type == LineEvent.Type.START) {
System.out.println("Playback started.");
} else if (type == LineEvent.Type.STOP) {
playCompleted = true;
System.out.println("Playback completed.");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String audioFilePath = "res/music/dark_theme.wav";
AudioPlayer player = new AudioPlayer();
player.play(audioFilePath);
}
}'

This class is a fairly normal class to use: Construct an instance, call some methods, and it does what it is expected to do. When you are using it as a launcher, all you're doing is calling the main method, which serves as an example of how to use this class:
public static void main(String[] args) {
String audioFilePath = "res/music/dark_theme.wav";
AudioPlayer player = new AudioPlayer();
player.play(audioFilePath);
}
Just construct an instance, and call play() on it with the name of the audio file intended.
However, be warned that this class isn't really a good example of how to go about doing this, for a few reasons:
It blocks while playing, meaning that you can't start playing sound and go about doing something different at the same time.
It can't play a sound more than once without incurring issues.
So, let's modify this class to not have these issues. This class will let you load a clip into memory, and start it asynchronously (meaning that you start it and then your program keeps running). The start() method starts it to play once, and the loop() method loops it forever. stop() is self-explanatory, and cleanup() should be called to release resources once you no longer need this audio clip. (Of course, if you intend to start playing the clip again soon, you should not cleanup() at that point).

How to halt a clip/object in a certain time?

Hi Stackoverflow!
So basically, I have two audio clips going on in my Java program and I want one of them to stop at a certain time and the other to start at a certain time.
I'll try to explain the code the best I can.

public void musictwo() {
URL url;
try {
url = new URL("file:///D:/Yes/GUI/song.wav");
Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.
getAudioInputStream( url );
clip.open(ais);
clip.loop(100);
} catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException | IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void musicone() {
URL url;
try {
url = new URL("file:///D:/Yes/GUI/rival.wav");
Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.
getAudioInputStream( url );
clip.open(ais);
clip.loop(100);
} catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException | IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
http://pastebin.com/nGm4DZfr Program.java
package testingground;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("The first song should play now!");
Music a = new Music();
a.musicone();
System.out.println("The second song should play now!");
a.musictwo();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Press 'ok' to end the application.");
}
}
In Music.java, I have the audio files working and they are only local .wav files that are only available on my computer. In program.java, the output is musicone and musictwo both play at the same time. Is there a way so that muscone plays, stops, then musictwo plays?
Things I have tried-
- Have an if and else statement in program.java to execute clip.stop(). No errors, it just didn't work.
- Have an if and else boolean from program.java to execute clip.stop() in Music.java. No syntax errors, it just didn't work.

The way I understand your question, you can use a LineListener.
Just, for example, here is a class that goes through a List, playing the next stream each time the current one completes:
class Playlist implements LineListener {
private final List<AudioInputStream> list = new ArrayList<>();
private Clip clip;
private int next;
#Override
public void update(LineEvent evt) {
if(evt.getType() == LineEvent.STOP) {
try {
playNext();
} catch(LineUnavailableException | IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
void enqueue(AudioInputStream ais) {
synchronized(this) {
list.add(ais);
}
}
void playNext() throws LineUnavailableException, IOException {
synchronized(this) {
if(list.isEmpty()) {
throw new IllegalStateException();
}
if(clip != null) {
if(clip.isRunning()) clip.stop();
if(clip.isOpen()) clip.close();
}
clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
clip.addLineListener(listener);
try {
clip.open(list.get(next));
} finally {
next = (next + 1) % list.size();
}
clip.start();
}
}
}

extreme lag after having .wav, .au sound in my game?

i tried to search up online there are very limited resources. in the action Performed Method:
actionPerformed(){
---------------
new Sound();}
and in Sound class
public Sound(){
try {
String filePath="path\\file.wav";
File path= new File(filePath);
AudioInputStream stream;
AudioFormat format;
DataLine.Info info;
Clip clip;
stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(path);
format = stream.getFormat();//becomes formatted
info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, format);// info
clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);// casting for clip
clip.open(stream); // clip opens stream with path
clip.start();
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("errors");
}
}
Thank you.

As per the Javadoc of the .start() method:
Allows a line to engage in data I/O. If invoked on a line that is
already running, this method does nothing. Unless the data in the
buffer has been flushed, the line resumes I/O starting with the first
frame that was unprocessed at the time the line was stopped. When
audio capture or playback starts, a START event is generated.
There is no mention of the audio being played in an asynchronous manner. This means that your sound will be tackled by the thread which calls the start method, which since you are calling it in your event handler, will eventually mean that your Event Dispatching Thread is taking care of playing audio.
This thread is also responsible for drawing stuff on screen, so any other thing that runs on it, audio in your case, will have a negative effect on your rendering.
You could use some code like below (taken from here) to make your audio be played on a separate thread. This should cater for your lagging problems.

It worked very nicely for me when I had to write a game with a large number of sound files.
Other than that, Clips are named Clips for a reason; they're supposed to be very brief and very small, as they're loaded instead of streamed in real-time.

How to make sound loop using this method?

I did sound in a REALLY wierd way, do you think that there may be a way to loop it? cuz it only plays once then stops. Here is code for sound:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.DataLine;

import javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine;
public class Sound {
private final static int BUFFER_SIZE = 12800000;
private static File soundFile;
private static AudioInputStream audioStream;
private static AudioFormat audioFormat;
private static SourceDataLine sourceLine;
/**
*
* #param filename the name of the file that is going to be played
*
*/
public static void playSound(String filename){
String strFilename = filename;
try {
soundFile = new File(strFilename);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
try {
audioStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile);
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
audioFormat = audioStream.getFormat();
DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class, audioFormat);
try {
sourceLine = (SourceDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
sourceLine.open(audioFormat);
} catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
sourceLine.start();
int nBytesRead = 0;
byte[] abData = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
while (nBytesRead != -1) {
try {
nBytesRead = audioStream.read(abData, 0, abData.length);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (nBytesRead >= 0) {
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
int nBytesWritten = sourceLine.write(abData, 0, nBytesRead);
}
}
sourceLine.drain();
sourceLine.close();
}
}
To activate it i do:
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Sound.playSound("hurt.au");
}
}).start();
(if i do just Sound.playSound("hurt.au"); the game freezes because the sound plays on the games main thread so i put the sound in it's own thread to save the game from freezing)
So the question is, how do i loop it?

You will need some sort of test to see whether the sound currently playing is finished or not. If you are making a game, I might suggest using some libraries to make it easier. Such as slick2d. This has inbuilt functions to loop a sound instead of just playing it once. If you choose not to, you will have to keep track of the thread and on every update of your game state look at the sound object and ask the sourceline if it has finished playing or not. If it has then sourceline.start() else no-op. You could also put the thread inside the sound.playsound method itself, thereby making your code a little bit less coupled.
http://www.slick2d.org/
I really recommend using a 3rd party library to make it easier on yourself though.
