How to write a float array of audio samples to a wave file?

[Nox997]

Hello!

Is it possible to write an array of floats, say exactly 8192 floats, to an audio wav file?
I tried to figure this out using some official tutorials on the java websites, and tried to "convert" my float array to an AudioInputStream - however this failed, as I am new to Java and don't yet understand how streams work.


So the functionality I try to implement is the following:

I have a while loop, and with each while loop, the float array of audio samples is filled with new audio samples. I want to "append" these samples to a wave file, and eventually close that file after exiting the while loop.


I am thankful for any help you could offer!

Streams are probably your best bet. And using output streams, your going to have to learn it all at somestage anyway.

Thank you for your answer...

But how do I know how a wav file is organized? How do I specify in which way the data is written to the file?
