This is a quick question, how is audio stored when it’s in a byte array, like when a image is stored in a byte array there is three(Red, green, blue) bytes per pixel. So how is a audio stored in a byte array?
Thanks,
Liam.

There are various possible encodings that are supported in Java. See:
The most simple form is PCM coding, in which each sample is a linear number that represents the sound waveform (which could be 1 byte for 8-bit encoding).
You also have to consider the number of channels (1 for mono, 2 for stereo). So 16-bit PCM-encoded stereo sound will require 4 bytes per sample, for example.
