Hi guys,

I’m trying to play this mp3 file but I keep getting this error message:
Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize). For more information, read revisions.txt and Help ? Troubleshooting
I updated my nvidia drivers as there was no option to rollback. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

in your code possibly the last 2 } } are missing?

the last lines,
4 lines about sound,
you read ( load song from data/ ) and start a sound.
but that is inside DRAW and inside a FOR 13

so you actually try to read and start that song 780 times per second.
( what i think is that none of the 4 lines should be inside DRAW )

as this question is about play a sound only, pls
play first in a extra little “project” to get that running.

and for your sinus i hope what i answered
Need Help Animating This Drawing ,
can help.

Also, even more importantly, the lines

should come at the very beginning of the file, even before the setup() method!
