Wav file doesn't play

I'm trying to make a script that plays a sound file. My wav file is in the same directory as my java file but for some reason my file doesn't actually play? I'm not getting any errors so I'm not sure as to why this isn't working?

Any ideas are welcome!

import java.io.*;
import javax.sound.sampled.*;

public class Twice {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        try {
        Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
        clip.open(AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File(args[0])));
        clip.start();
        System.out.println("hey boi...");
        System.out.println(args[0]);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("uh oh");
        }
    }
}

args[0] is java program name, so you should not use args[0], instead use args[1]

        clip.open(AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File(args[1])));

i hope it will work :)
