right, processing comes with installed sound lib

on win 10 64bit,  
install processing 3.5.3 64 bit  
download: [http://download.processing.org/processing-3.5.3-windows64.zip](http://download.processing.org/processing-3.5.3-windows64.zip)  
unzip to …/Documents/ and start:  
c:\Users\ \< USER \> \Documents\processing-3.5.3\processing.exe

go:  
file / examples / libraries / sound / soundfile / simpleplayback

and get a white window and hear some music

and the whole thing looks like:

so your

- processing or
- windows

is kaput.

-a- does every thing else work ( like for the graphic “ribbon” example… )  
ONLY sound NOT?  
so you might need to reinstall motherboard sound driver

-b- for reinstall processing see first:
