JavaFX sound: no exceptions, but no sound?

I’ve never played with JavaFX sound before but I’m not getting any results… What’s wrong with this code:


public class SoundThing {

    public void play() {
        Media sound;
        try {
            sound = new Media(SoundThing.class.getResource("/resource/sound/duck.mp3").toURI().toString());
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException();
        }
        System.out.println("playing sound");
        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(sound);
        mediaPlayer.play();
    }

}

I don’t get any exceptions, just no sound.
