When I run sound in the main game loop using pygame mixer, the sound lags and breaks in between each loop, how can I work around that?

Question

I have put time.sleep(int(any number here)) functions in the main game loop for my animation, this has cause the loops to repeat slower. Becasue of this the sound I have played using pygame mixer, break and lag. It basically plays a part of the sound for a bit then goes through the rest of the code silently and then restarts. Is there a way for me to work around the breaking sound effect? Could I use a different sound module?

heres my code;

    import pygame
from pygame import mixer
import time
pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.init()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((0, 0), pygame.FULLSCREEN)

ec = 0

    if no == frameno:
        frameinit = pygame.image.load(img)
        frameimg = pygame.transform.scale(frameinit, (xs, ys))
        screen.blit(frameimg, (x, y))
        time.sleep(int(duration))
        pygame.display.update()

start = time.process_time()

running = True
while running:

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
                running = False

    screen.fill((0, 0, 0))

    frameinit = pygame.image.load("2565 Thorana Intro.png")
    frameimg = pygame.transform.scale(frameinit, (1000, 760))
    screen.blit(frameimg, (210, 0))

    pygame.display.update()

I hope the question is clear,

Thank you very much, for you answers,

*Note that I basically just started python last month and made my stack overflow account yesterday, so my code is not the best (at the time of writing).

Why so you call `time.sleep()` in the game loop? Do not do that. — Rabbid76, May 23 '21 at 15:18
I called, time.sleep(int(number)) because I was creating an animation and needed to delay each frame by a specific amount. I could remove it but then the animation would not work smoothly, all the frames would change too fast. — Ravindu Peiris, May 25 '21 at 02:34

When I run sound in the main game loop using pygame mixer, the sound lags and breaks in between each loop, how can I work around that?
