I am writing some code that includes the capability to play sound.
After reading many tutorials I have some interesting stuff working.
However, we tried changing a file recorded in a slightly different
format for the original file used in the demo I copied from and it gave
a javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException that said that it
only supported 44100 kHz, 16 bit, mono, Windows PCM format audio. Why
is that? I thought javax.sound.sampled was supposed to support several
variations. At least, that's what it seems to say in the javadocs.
There is a getFormat method that tells you about the format, so I would
assume that you could set it to play various formats. How do you do
that?

Also, what could I use to play a VOX file? Thanks to whoever is a java
sound guru.

So far as I know,
although Java Sound supports various formats ( you can load them into
AudioInputStream),
it can only play PCM wav file. So after you load the sound file into a
AudioInputStream
in other format other than PCM, you need to convert the stream into PCM
format in order to
playback it.

Java Sound has build-in support for au, wave and etc. , therefore, it
can only identify these formats.

For other formats, you need to get it done by yourself. There are some
examples at:
www.jsresources.org

I’m not familiar with VOX, sorry for that.
