Playing a sound with playsound in WSL gives a long list error

Question

I try to play a simple sound in my WSL Debian but I cannot fix a long list of errors.
I don’t know what to do more…

Searching different advise on the net, I’have installed

pip install playsound
apt install libcairo2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0
sudo apt install libxt-dev
pip install pygobject
pip install PyGObject
pip install vext
pip install vext.gi

My script is :

#!/usr/bin/python3
from playsound import playsound
playsound('clock.mp3')

errors are :

> ./sound.py
playsound is relying on another python subprocess. Please use `pip install pygobject` if you want playsound to run more efficiently.

Answer 1

Wsl sound system till now has issues but you can try installing pulseAudio atleast it worked for me when i was getting choppy audio output. It fixed it but the sound was rather delayed sudo apt install pulseaudio -y and sudo apt install pavucontrol -y(optional if you want the gui)

And by looking at you errors you need to install pygobject and which should solve the missing module error.Use pip to install it

pip install pygobject
