# Sound

Java-GNOME provides the ability to play sounds through the Sound class. This class is so simple to use that an example will be the best demonstration.

Example 3. Sound.java - Sound

    import org.gnu.gnome.Program;
    import org.gnu.gnome.Sound;

    public class SoundTest {

    	public SoundTest() {

    		Sound.play("startup.wav");
    		Sound.shutdown();
    	}

    	public static void main(String[] args) {

    		Program.initGnome("Sound Example", "1.0", args);

    		SoundTest sound = new SoundTest();

    	}
    }

As you might guess, this example plays a file called "startup.wav". Before you exit the application you should place a call to Sound.shutdown() to free up the resources taken by the sound daemon.
