Re: [JAVA3D] Background Sound

Whoops, I posted the wrong version.  The code below won't work because the bounding sphere is missing. This is the correct version:     private BranchGroup createBackgrounSound()   {     BranchGroup objGroup = new BranchGroup();         AudioDevice audioDev = u.getViewer().createAudioDevice();     if (!audioDev.initialize())     {       System.out.println("Failed to init audio device, exiting!");       System.exit(1);     }         MediaContainer rain = new MediaContainer("file:rain.wav");     rain.setCacheEnable(true);         BackgroundSound bgs = new BackgroundSound(rain, 1.0f);     BoundingSphere soundBounds = new BoundingSphere(new Point3d(0.0,0.0,0.0), 100.0);     bgs.setSchedulingBounds(soundBounds);     bgs.setLoop(-1);     bgs.setEnable(true);     objGroup.addChild(bgs);       return objGroup;   } ----- Original Message ----- From: Corysia Taware To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 9:30 AM Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] Background Sound I'm still learning about sound, myself.  I've almost finished a nice demo for 3D sound that I'll post as a tutorial, eventually.   I think your problem is that MediaContainer takes a URL, not a filename. Try: MediaContainer music = MediaContainer("file:connected.wav")   Also, have you created your AudioDevice?   Here's the fragment I use to start my background sound:     private BranchGroup createBackgroundSound()   {     BranchGroup objGroup = new BranchGroup();         AudioDevice audioDev = u.getViewer().createAudioDevice();     if (!audioDev.initialize())     {       System.out.println("Failed to init audio device, exiting!");       System.exit(1);     }         MediaContainer rain = new MediaContainer("file:sounds/rain.wav");     rain.setCacheEnable(true);         BackgroundSound bgs = new BackgroundSound(rain, 1.0f);     bgs.setLoop(-1);     bgs.setEnable(true);     objGroup.addChild(bgs);       return objGroup;   } ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrik M�ller To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2001 7:17 AM Subject: [JAVA3D] Background Sound Hi   I have problem with my background sound. The sound does not play. Why? It gives also no exception if I enter a wrong wave file. Can someone help me?       This is my Code           // Background Sound         MediaContainer music = new MediaContainer("connected.wav");           TransformGroup group = new TransformGroup();           BackgroundSound sound = new BackgroundSound();         sound.setSoundData(music);         sound.setInitialGain(1.0f);         sound.setEnable(true);         sound.setLoop(-1);     // Loop forever           sound.setSchedulingBounds( boundingSphere );         group.addChild( sound );         vpBG.addChild(group);  // add to viewbranch     Patrik   E-mail mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
