How to get TargetDataLine from Speakers?

Question

How do you get the TargetDataLine from the Speakers? I know how to do it for Microphones, but I can't figure it out for speakers. Any ideas?

Answer 1

TargetDataLine is for reading data which does not make sense for speakers.

SourceDataLine is used to send data to speakers. You can get this from AudioSystem.getLine() or a Mixer.

You need DataLine.Info which is something like this:

   DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class, audioFormat);

audioFormat is an AudioFormat instance - you can get this from an AudioInputStream instance getFormat() call or just construct a new instance of AudioFormat.
