AC97 Sound won't play
THe program I'm writing includes an audio alert at certain points.
I use java.applet.AudioClip to point to the chimes.wav (the standard windows one) in an application directory and use the play() method to play the wave file, but on certian computers (Averatec 3200 and 3300), the sounds don't play. The wave files can be double-clicked to play, but don't play when called by java. I did some poking around and have reason to beleive that this is because of the RealTek AC97 audio drivers in use the by the averatec machines, but I haven't found a solution or workaround. Anyone have any ideas or information that I'm lacking?
