I'm trying to setup pygame in my python virtualenv so that I can read controller data in using pygames Directinputs. I'm on windows 10 using the developer command line (basically bash mounted onto the windows system.) I have pygame installed, but I'm getting the error: pygame.error: No Available video device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'

I have tried using the command sudo apt-get build-dep python-pygame to get all the dependencies which seemed to download around 180 new files that I hoped would fix it, but of course didn't. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling pygame but that didn't do anything either. I think it is an SDL problem, or at least that is what google has yielded so far. I tried using
import os
os.environ["SDL_VIDEODRIVER"] = "directx"
and the other SDL_VIDEODRIVER flags, but none of them seem to change anything. Any suggestion as to how I can get the code to work? My code is simply the example program for pygames joystick object, so if you need reference Here it is.
