Re: [pygame] Noob question: playing sounds

[Philip Le Riche <philip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for that, but still no joy whatsoever. I also tried uninstalling python-pygame and installing python3-pygame instead, but that gave the same error and furthermore, wouldn't recognise the existence of my wav file. I also tried installing pulseaudio, python-alsaaudio and python-pyalsa, thinking that it looked like pygame was failing to connect to the underlying sound system, but nothing made any difference.

Are people successfully using pygame on the Raspberry Pi, or is it just broken?

This has happened to me too on several occasions. I have resolved this by

1.pygame.mixer.pre_init(44100, 16, 2, 4096) # setup mixer to avoid sound lag

2.pygame.init()

3.pygame.mixer.set_num_channels(64)

Try deleting the name of the file completley and renaming it. Sometimes there are hidden characters and this too causes problems.

Hope this helps.

 Well, this is strange. In /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygame/examples there is sound.py. This must have worked for someone once,

It still works for me, using pygame 1.9.2 with
Python 2.7 on MacOSX 10.6.
