Error when trying to play sound
 

I get this error when I try to play the sound. It's MP3 format, 4-5mb song at 128kbps. I appreciate any help, thanks.
EDIT: I converted the MP3 file into WAV, but it still gives me the error.

ok, so does Alice not allow for sound to play or what? I've tried over 20 songs, some 10 seconds short, others 5 minutes long and I always get the same error. Both MP3 and Wav files do not function. Whats the problem here? :confused:
I was on 2.2 version of Alice, so I'm going to delete that and download 2.0 and try this again. Fingers crossed, it's becoming very frustrating. I must get this working properly. I've searched every single thread on this forum and have found that I am not the only one with this problem, so I am trying out all suggestions that were listed.

EDIT: FINALLY!!! I got the sound to play in Alice 2.0, 2.2 can go to hell and die. It took me 4 hours of searching, trial and error to get a song to play, albeit, the song is mighty awesome, but I could've written a song in a shorter amount of time than it took me to get Alice to play it properly. I know, I barely make sense but it's late in the night, 4 am here and I haven't had coffee.

Okay so I dug up from an older post that a part of Alice seems to become corrupt after playing sounds after awhile. I too shared your pain in not being able to play sounds. Just download Alice again, or if you have a backup simply unzip it and replace it, and your sounds should be playing again. ^^

thx, i got it to work on 2.0, it is very frustrating, especially when you work very hard at it only to be stopped by an error that can not be fixed by simply adjusting the code. i re-installed 2.2 and it still doesn't play sound, so for the meanwhile i am using 2.0, it seems to be more trouble-free.

I have just encountered this problem as I was adding sound to Alice3. There seems to be a bug in setting the volume level in Java Media Framework. I have posted a work around:

which I will pass on to the people working on Alice2.2.

How do you incorporate your workaround?
 

Hi Dennis, I am having what appears to be the same no-sound problem. I am taking a class that uses Alice 2.0, and I am running ubuntu linux. How do I incorporate your workaround into my Alice environment? My java is sketchy and self-taught (hence the reason for taking classes), but I am always up for a challenge.

Thanks,

Andrew
