Right now, I am programming a video game in Android Studio with LibGDX that can run on both Desktop and Android devices.

In certain parts of the game, I want to play a sound effect using a Sound variable:

public Sound sound5;

In the show() function of the Screen, I am initializing the sound by setting the path to the sound effect audio file:

sound5 = Gdx.audio.newSound(Gdx.files.internal("C:/Users/coder/Desktop/Catacombs - Copy/android/res/raw/nff_confirm_02.wav"));

Then, in the hide() function, I dispose the sound variable:

sound5.dispose();

In one of my button's functions, I play the sound:

sound5.play();

When I run my game on Desktop, the game runs perfectly fine and plays the sound file whenever I press a button, but when I try to run my game on an Android device, the game crashes with a FileNotFoundException as soon as it starts up. Here is the log for the crash:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 24292

The audio file "nff_confirm_02.wav" does exist in the raw folder inside of my res folder. The file name does not have any capitals or spaces, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I have tried multiple file paths to the audio file, like:

sound5 = Gdx.audio.newSound(Gdx.files.internal("android/res/raw/nff_confirm_02.wav"));

or just:

sound5 = Gdx.audio.newSound(Gdx.files.internal("raw/nff_confirm_02.wav"));

However, both must be incorrect because the game crashes on both Desktop and Android.
I am not sure what I need to do to prevent the Android device from giving me a FileNotFoundException.

By the way, I looked in the log for the crash, and I found that it said:

Note: Internal audio files must be placed in the assets directory.

There is an "assets" directory in the android directory of my LibGDX project, but whenever I try to paste the audio file that I am using into the assets directory, it automatically puts the file into the "res" directory in the android directory, so I didn't think that was the problem.

Any advice is welcome to help me be able to play a sound file in LibGDX, without my file path giving me a FileNotFoundException.

All your assets should be inside assets folder of android module in LibGDX project.

Please take a look of Project Explorer :

Create sound object in this way whenever you want :

Sound sound = Gdx.audio.newSound(Gdx.files.internal("sounds/nff_confirm_02.wav"));

sound.play();

For Desktop, Configuration should be like this :

Cross check Working directory path.
