The FAQ hint doesn't work In FAQ, it's hinted:

pip install -U wheel
pip install -U playsound

However, it doesn't solve the issue. It throws the same failure.

Thanks!

You're probably using the wrong interpreter. Try using python -m pip {...} instead of just pip {...}.

[FujiwaraChoki]

If that doesn't work either, try deleting the venv folder, re-initializing it, then running pip install -U wheel first, and then install all other requirements.

[NalaGinrut]

I've tried python -m pip ... and remove venv then re-initializing, however, it still doesn't work.

This is what worked for me: https://github.com/TaylorSMarks/playsound/issues/150#issuecomment-1943173094

[NalaGinrut]

Thank you for all the helps! The issue was solved by python3 -m pip install wheel playsound The point is that one must make sure to upgrade the pacakage with the python in virtualenv dir.

And this part is necessary for me:

    python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip && \
    python3 -m pip install setuptools wheel && \
    python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel && \
    python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate && \
    pip install -r requirements.txt

[FujiwaraChoki]

I thought you'd already tried that.. Well, whatever, glad it worked for you.
