Thanks, worked

@jonathonbrownlow-gay

run pip3 install playsound==1.2.2

can you explain to me why this works

[jonathonbrownlow-gay]

@MeanSoybean
Not exactly sure what's wrong with 1.3.0, but by specifying 1.2.2 we're using a more stable version. I didn't dig into it, I just found that on the interwebs when I was trying to use it myself

I see others have the issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/116825n/oserror_could_not_get_source_code_pip_playsound/

Shame the package looks abandoned.

NB Downgrading to 1.2.2 worked for me as well. Using Ubuntu 24.04.
