This code works fine when I run the application from netbeans. The sound plays and there are no exceptions. However, when I run it from the dist folder, the sound does not play and I get the java.io.IOException: mark/reset not supported in my message dialog.
How can I fix this?
The documentation for AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(InputStream) says:
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, if not, reset the stream's read pointer to its original position. If the input stream does not support these operation, this method may fail with an IOException.
Therefore, the stream you provide to this method must support the optional mark/reset functionality. Decorate your resource stream with a BufferedInputStream.
//read audio data from whatever source (file/classloader/etc.)
InputStream audioSrc = getClass().getResourceAsStream("mySound.au");
//add buffer for mark/reset support
InputStream bufferedIn = new BufferedInputStream(audioSrc);
AudioInputStream audioStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(bufferedIn);
