Finally!

The wrong thing was the wav files I used.  I think they were not correct  somehow, I tried some other wav files (windows's own files) and now I got the result I want.

Maybe java is a little bit selective on wavs format.  My files were

PCM - 44.1 data rate - 16 bit - 22.5Khz sample rate - Mono

working files are:

PCM - 88.2 data rate - 16 bit - 22.5Khz sample rate - Stereo

Can you tell me why Java didnt like the first one?

Thanks for your help.

no luck, same result again, second and third sounds are heard like noise. here blabla.wav is a long sound , others are shorter. I want to hear them clearly, but no luck for now.

       int s1 = sou.addClip("sound/blabla.wav");
       int s2 = sou.addClip("sound/diamond1.wav");
       int s3 = sou.addClip("sound/diamond2.wav");
       int s4 = sou.addClip("sound/diamond3.wav");
       int s5 = sou.addClip("sound/rock1.wav");

       sou.playSound(s1);
       sou.playSound(s2);
       sou.playSound(s3);
       Thread.sleep(100);
       sou.playSound(s4);
       sou.playSound(s5);

Almost all examples seem to say they can play more than one sound clip at a time (polyphony) but as I tried them I got this:

- For one sound, they work, I can hear the wav .
- For two sound, I hear only noise
- For three I hear nothing

Can anyone post a simple code which can play the same sound file clips more than one instance at one time? I mean we need to hear all sounds together in a game right? not only one sound at a time.

thanks for any help.

There's a boulderdash like game in Java.net too
