Error 275. Cannot find the specified file. Make sure the path and filename are correct.

I am running wav and mp3 files on Windows 10 but get this error no matter where the file is kept, inside the folder or outside.

It also throws another error right after that - Error 263. The specified device is not open or is not recognized by MCI.

as well, and would appreciate a solution : was working something like 1 or 2 years ago, and in the meantime I switched to the latest Python version, maybe this is the cause ?

@TaylorSMarks ?

[TaylorSMarks]

@jeremoquai - Sorry. There's newer code on master that hasn't been put on pypi yet. Could you try to install the latest version of playsound from github instead of pip and let me know if that works?

If the github version works, I'll try to update what's on pypi this weekend.

[jeremoquai]

hi @TaylorSMarks (poke @RahulShagri ) thanks for your kind answer unfortunately i'm a newbie on Python ;-) so I'll wait for the pypi version as I don't know how to install it directly

[jeremoquai]

(well i gave it a try and failed : i'm not good at it yet so) @TaylorSMarks please let us know when you update pypi thanks

[GoldfishGallant]

I am also having this error. Do I simply have to wait or is there something proactive I can be doing to resolve the issue?

I have same issue on Windows 10. Manually close sound file like file.close() before playsound(file) may be can help.
