Question

I have created a class to play the sound when I click the buttons.

Here is the code :

public void playSound()
    {
        try 
        {
            AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("beep-1.wav"));
            Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip( );
            clip.open(audioInputStream);
            clip.start( );
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Error with playing sound.");
            e.printStackTrace( );
        }
    }

But when I compile, I get this error :

error: cannot find symbol
            AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("beep-1.wav"));
                                                                    ^
  symbol:   class File
  location: class MemoryGame
1 error

Process completed.

What is the problem with the getAudioInputStream()?

I had used import javax.sound.sampled.*; in my program.

Answer 1

Did you remember to import java.io.File? That’s the class the compiler says it doesn’t know about.
