No sound card?

[brackeen]

So I got a few logged exceptions where AudioSystem.getMixer(null) throws an IllegalArgumentException. I assume this means the user doesn’t have a sound card. My question for any JavaSound pros out there: Is it possible that AudioSystem.getMixer(null) could throw an IllegalArgumentException, but AudioSystem.getMixerInfo() return valid values?

Maybe make a new method that uses AudioSystem.getMixerInfo() and catches the exception then it returns another value in the “catch” statement?
