Thank you for that, but still no joy whatsoever. I also tried uninstalling python-pygame and installing python3-pygame instead, but that gave the same error and furthermore, wouldn't recognise the existence of my wav file. I also tried installing pulseaudio, python-alsaaudio and python-pyalsa, thinking that it looked like pygame was failing to connect to the underlying sound system, but nothing made any difference.
Are people successfully using pygame on the Raspberry Pi, or is it just broken? Regards - Philip On 04/06/2015 06:21, diliup gabadamudalige wrote: > This has happened to me too on several occasions.
