.wav does not play when using AudioClip from Applet class

[Domingo]

I am trying to write an application that does something every minute, in this case play a .wav file. The code compiles and runs but when I call clip.play(); it does not play, just keeps going. It will also terminate normally.

This is the import piece of the code
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
class RemindTask extends TimerTask {
int numWarningBeeps = 3;
AudioClip clip;
public void run() {
try
{
clip = Applet.newAudioClip(new URL("file:C:/work/whack.wav"));
}
catch(MalformedURLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (numWarningBeeps > 0) {
clip.play();
System.out.println("Beep!");
numWarningBeeps--;
} else {
clip.play();
System.out.println("Time's up!");

System.exit(0); //Stops everything
}
}
}
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

the output is:
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
Time's up!

you can see where it should play before it prints "Beep!".

Any ideas? Thanks.

Any ideas? Thanks.

If that is the best way you can phrase your
question*, I would recommend c.l.j.help.
<http://www.physci.org/codes/javafaq.jsp#cljh>

* A code snippet, no mention of exceptions
or looking for them..

But it would help immenseley to do an SSCCE
<http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.jsp>
and put that up at an URL along with the
sound file.
