No sound in Java applets

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 05:25:19 Z

As the title says, I am having a problem where sound does not work in Java applets under Windows 7. I'm running the most recent version of the JRE available from the Sun website, 6 update 12. The problem occurs in any browser I've tried, including Internet Explorer and the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Sound is working fine outside of Java applets, and the applets themselves are working normally other than the fact that they are silent.

Is this an issue unique to my system? After searching the forums and using Google fairly extensively I've been unable to find any reports of similar issues with Windows 7 so I'm beginning to suspect that it is.

Can you give us an example of which Java applet you are using so that we can try and replicate the problem?

What is the location of the sound files? what type of read/write access are you using in order to access that sound file?

C# Fan!

the sound files are in D:\WINDOWS\Media. I don't know much about the type of read/write access. All sounds in other applications are working fine. It's when I access http://www.kurnik.pl/warcaby/ and want to play checkers for example, there are no sounds although the sound is enabled there. The applet sound used to be working fine before I reinstalled my XP, it was on J: partition, now it's D:, if that's of any importance. I ve got a vista on C: where Java applet sound is ok.
