Audio not playing in Java swing

Question

I am trying to get a button to play audio when pressed matching to a value. This is what i have got so far but it isnt working. I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q4f6I5zi2w&list=PLrqwM2iFaguigFGMfG4f4H516zVByp97N but as it isnt for Swing i think thats the problem.

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import  sun.audio.*;

sorry for formatting problems as this is my first post.

You don't need to write hundreds of lines of code to play a sound (and nobody is going to read all the code). Frist you learn the basics and then you write the application to use the knowledge you learned. For example you can play sound in about 10 lines of code. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44500043/how-to-attribute-sound-through-array-and-play-it-using-jbutton/44500689#44500689 for a basic example to get you started. — camickr, Nov 03 '19 at 05:31
Note that an even *shorter* code to run a clip (as linked by @camickr) can be seen in the [Java Sound info page](https://stackoverflow.com/tags/javasound/info). — Andrew Thompson, Nov 03 '19 at 07:18

Utilize the Clip class with AudioStream, for example:

private void playWav(String soundFilePath) {
    File sFile = new File(soundFilePath);
    if (!sFile.exists()) {
        String ls = System.lineSeparator();
        System.err.println("Can not locate the supplied sound file!" + 
                ls + "(" + soundFilePath + ")" + ls);
        return;
    }
    try {
        Clip clip;
        try (AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.
                getAudioInputStream(sFile.getAbsoluteFile())) {
            clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
            // Rewind clip to beginning. 
            // Not really required in this example!
            // It's just good to know.
            clip.setFramePosition(0); 
            clip.open(audioInputStream);
        }
        clip.start();
    }
    catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException | IOException | LineUnavailableException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger("playWav()").log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
}
