how do I get Mixer channels layout in java

Question

I thought I can find anything on this great site but now I seem to face the issue with no answer :) Please help!

Thing is, I need to play up to 6 different wav files

Answer 1

Yes, its an old question but since i was searching to get all the channels, depths and so on i decided to write a small debug method which is usefull if you like to see more details and would like to use java 8 streams :-)

Enjoy:

//filter may be all if you want to include microphone 
 public void getDeviceInfos(String filter) {

            Stream
                    .of(AudioSystem.getMixerInfo())
                    .forEach(info -> {
                        System.out.println("Mixer Name: " + info.getName());
                        System.out.println("Mixer Description: " + info.getDescription());
                        System.out.println("Mixer Vendor: " + info.getVendor());

                        Mixer m = AudioSystem.getMixer(info);

                        Stream
                                .of(Arrays.asList(m.getSourceLineInfo()), filter.equals("record") ? Arrays.asList(m.getTargetLineInfo()) : null)
                                .flatMap(List::stream)
                                .collect(Collectors.toList())
                                .forEach(lineInfo -> {
                                    System.out.println("    info: " + lineInfo);
                                    try {
                                        Line line = AudioSystem.getLine(lineInfo);
                                        if (line instanceof SourceDataLine || line instanceof TargetDataLine) {

                                            Arrays.asList(((DataLine.Info) line.getLineInfo()).getFormats()).forEach(format -> {
                                                System.out.println("Channels: " + format.getChannels());
                                                System.out.println("Size in Bits: " + format.getSampleSizeInBits());
                                                System.out.println("Frame Rate: " + format.getFrameRate());
                                                System.out.println("Frame Size: " + format.getFrameSize());
                                                System.out.println("Encoding: " + format.getEncoding());
                                                System.out.println("Sample Rate: " + format.getSampleRate());

                                            });
                                        }
                                    } catch (Exception ex) {
                                        ex.printStackTrace();
                                    }
                                });
                    });
