I was trying to code a voice assistant with the help of an online tutorial. When I tried to run the code, I kept kept getting an error message saying:

Error 263 for command:
        close voice.mp3
    The specified device is not open or is not recognized by MCI.
Failed to close the file: voice.mp3

*Note: "voice.mp3" is the name I gave to the mp3 file.

This is the only function in the program which used "voice.mp3", as well as the Playsound module:

def speak(text):
    tts = gTTS(text=text, tld="ca", lang="en")
    filename = "voice.mp3"
    tts.save(filename)
    playsound.playsound(filename)

I believe it has something to do with Playsound. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I just added ./ to the name of the file in the code.

filename = "./voice.mp3"

  • It works. But it's a strange behavior and should be documented. – Zbyszek Aug 31 '23 at 05:46
