Hello!
Today we add sounds in our game. Using Clip that comes along with java by default we can get a very basic, but functional sound system in our game.
Use the .Wav files in github or on my website. If you were to add your own, make sure to use wav files that can be controlled with volume and mute.
clip.getControls() will tell you what controls you have access to for each clip / sound. Store the return array in a control array and then syso each index to see what the control is. Clip documentation can tell you more.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/sound/sampled/Clip.html

I found a few .wav files not working as I wanted. The solution(debatable) was to keep the Bitrate of the .wav file to 1411 kbps or less, and 44100 hz in sample rate.

Best approach to adding sounds to your own game, would be to use an external library with faster response time and also more file formats.
This episode is to give you a taste of working with sound.
Good Luck!
