I'm trying to add sound to my java game...

I'm playing Sultans of swing at runtime:

static String WHOOSH = "res/WHOOSH.WAV";
static String SULTANS = "res/DireStraits_SultansOfSwing.wav";

music(SULTANS, true);

And this whoosh sound when the ball hits a paddle

music(WHOOSH, false);

public void music(String path, Boolean loop) {
    try {
        //will go into file folder and get music file (getResource)
        AudioInputStream audio = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(GamePanel.class.getResource(path));
        Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
        clip.open(audio);
        clip.start();
        if (loop) {
            clip.loop(1000);
        }   
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Check: " + path + "\n");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Problem:

The "Whoosh" always works, but Sultans of Swing does not. Sultans gives me this "Unsupported Audio File Exception" error, which oracle docs tells me

An UnsupportedAudioFileException is an exception indicating that an operation failed because a file did not contain valid data of a recognized file type and format.

Error:

Check: res/DireStraits_SultansOfSwing.wav

javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException: could not get audio input stream from input URL at javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(Unknown Source)

But you can see from these photos that they're both .wav files...

Why is it throwing that error? Is it a size issue?

Thanks!

    I would suspect that the either the internal encoding of the file is unsupported or the file is corrupt. +1 for Sultans ;) – MadProgrammer May 28 '13 at 23:06

When I've used wav files for a game, I've done something like this (I've updated it with your path):

    public void endingSound() throws IOException{

        ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
        InputStream failSound = cl.getResourceAsStream("res/DireStraits_SultansOfSwing.wav");

        if (failSound != null){

            AudioStream as = new AudioStream(failSound);         
            AudioPlayer.player.start(as);  
        }
        else{

            System.err.println("cannot load ending sound");
        }   

}

In this way I assure you won't have any problems when you will export as jar. If is still doesn't work try to rename or replace that file; it may be corrupted as @MadProgrammer said.
