There seems to be a significant difference in how different versions of the JDK determine which audio resources are available on Linux. This difference seems to affect different machines in different ways. We are working with the Java Sound folks to get to the root cause of the problem. In the mean time, if you are having trouble getting the demos to work on your Linux box try the following: • Try a native sound recording application (such as gnome-sound-recorder) to ensure that you can actually capture audio on your system. • Try the AudioTool demo to see if you can record audio from a Java application. • Check to see if any sound daemons like esd, gstreamer or artsd are running. These daemons may have exclusive access to the sound device. If any of these are running, kill them and try running again. • Try switching to another version of the JDK. If JDK 1.4 doesn’t work, try 1.5 and vice versa.
