in sound config panel, having selected a sound, playing "test sound" results in this error in the pop-up :

installing bydub and pyaudio.... both are not in the scope of the "brew" package.

hitting pip3 install bydub--> no package with this name:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement bydub (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for bydub

hitting pip3 install pyaudio results with a compilation error:

      src/pyaudio/device_api.c:9:10: fatal error: 'portaudio.h' file not found
      #include "portaudio.h"
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

[maurizioandreotti]

on mac installed pyaudio via:

brew remove portaudio
brew install portaudio
pip3 install pyaudio

this results with pyaudio installed in pyaudio in /Users/maurizio/Virtualenvs/d-rats4/lib/python3.11/site-packages (0.2.13)

unlikely this end in the same error: 06/05/2023 18:20:47:INFO:DratsConfigWidget:LatLon text: 9.430000 06/05/2023 18:21:11:INFO:DratsConfigWidget:Testing playback of /System/Library/Sounds/Basso.aiff 06/05/2023 18:21:11:INFO:MacOSXPlatform:play_sound: bydub and pyaudio not installed!

[maurizioandreotti]

then assumung that "bydub" could be a typo in the system, I installed pydub :

pip3 install pydub
Collecting pydub
  Downloading pydub-0.25.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (32 kB)
Installing collected packages: pydub
Successfully installed pydub-0.25.1

and not testing sound results in a new error:

pyaudo and pydub use "dynamic loading" to install the packages that is needed on the local system. They apparently do not install any libraries that may be missing.

The play sound code is not supposed even try using the code if either pydub or pyaudo python packages are not installed.

I landed that pull request after Rod Whitaker verified that he could create sound on his Mac.

The bydub is a typo that was missed somewhere. It should be pydub. I can not find "bydub" anywhere in the pull request.

The error message about ffprobe being missing came up with a lot of search results including https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57350259/filenotfounderror-errno-2-no-such-file-or-directory-ffprobe-ffprobe

In general using a pip installed modules is to be done as a last resort if there is no native package for from the operating system or python vendor to supply that module. Pip installed modules may not be fully tested on all platforms.

Looks like we have the a lot of issues in how to get a D-Rats compatible python environment on Mac OS that need to be worked out.

[wb8tyw]

Reopened automatically closed bug because we still need Mac OS documentation to how to make test_sound work.

I installed ffmpeg via brew and now I get the following error in the pop-up when i try to play a sound

....using a wav sound instead of. a system .aiff D-rats on macos plays sounds - so, it works!
