I keep getting error 277 : a problem occurred in initializing MCI. when using playsound module. I basically just did this:

from playsound import playsound

playsound('what.mp3')

the what.mp3 is generated using gtts.

I know this is too late but try to install Klite Codec Pack and try again, worked for me

I just solved the same issue using playsound by doing 2 steps:

  1. I re-encoded the .mp3 with Audacity because the files that i downloaded from a webconverter was trashy. (still not working)

  2. I added the True value at the end, like this:

     from playsound import playsound
 playsound('/path/to/a/sound/file/you/want/to/play.mp3, True')

Then it worked. I hope it's helpful.

You can try this approach

from playsound import playsound
playsound('C:\\Users\\shubham sinha\\Desktop\\code\\01RitvizLiggiOfficialMusicVideoRingtone.mp3')

Try using this test code to see if it works:

from playsound import playsound
playsound('/path/to/a/sound/file/you/want/to/play.mp3')

If it doesn't install it again or try another version of python.

you should write like this:

from playsound import playsound
playsound('C:\\Users\\Talha Shafiq Chadhry\\Downloads\\Video')

playsound.playsound("D:\\Yalgaar.mp3")
