I've keep having an exception thrown, on and on. When i try to make a new Sequencer object, i keep getting the javax.sound.midi.MidiUnavailableException: Audio Device Unavailable exception. So, here's the code:

import javax.sound.midi.*;

public class MiniMusicPlayer1
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    try
    {
      Sequencer sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer();
      sequencer.open();
      Sequence seq = new Sequence(Sequence.PPQ, 4);
      Track track = seq.createTrack();
      for (int i = 5; i < 61; i += 4)
      {
        track.add(makeEvent(144, 1, i, 100, i));
        track.add(makeEvent(128, 1, i, 100, (i+2)));
      }
      sequencer.setSequence(seq);
      sequencer.setTempoInBPM(220);
      sequencer.start();            
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  public static MidiEvent makeEvent(int comd, int chan, int one, int two, int tick)
  {
    MidiEvent event = null;
    try
    {
      ShortMessage a = new ShortMessage();
      a.setMessage(comd, chan, one, two);
      event = new MidiEvent(a, tick);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return event;
  }
}

And here's the complete error (at compile):

First i was unable to play MIDI files on my pc, but then i got it to work, so now i can play MIDI files, that's okay. I tried even to close every process which uses my sound card, but the error is still there. Anyone can help me?
