Re: [pygame] Noob question: playing sounds

[diliup gabadamudalige]

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.

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

Well, this is strange. In
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygame/examples there is sound.py. This
must have worked for someone once, and it doesn't include anything about
creating a window. When I run it for the first time it makes a click but
doesn't play the sound. It produces the xcb_connection_has_error()
message but seems to ignore it.

Adding pygame.display.set_mode((1,1)) to my program (which otherwise now
is very similar to sound.py) doesn't help. This is driving me nuts!
