pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install --upgrade wheel
python --m pip install playsound
python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

I can confirm this to be a problem also on MacOS with pip 23.3.1 python 3.11

[MrBreakNFix]

Also on windows with latest pip & python

[KartikJain14]

Can confirm for Windows Python 3.11.7, pip 23.3.1 facing the same issue!

[KartikJain14]

pip install playsound@git+https://github.com/taconi/playsound
This command can be used temporarily for installing the package tho.

this fixed the issue for me

[RasseTheBoy]

Can confirm. This worked for Python 3.11.7, pip 23.3.2

[nycki93]

Not working for me on python 3.12.1, pip 23.3.2. I've tried installing wheel first.

Try using python 3.7, many modules don't have support for the newer versions of python
Also, you may come across times you want to use deprecated modules, and python 3.7 still works for a load of them

Installed playsound-1.3.0 eventually with Python 3.11.8 via pip 24.0.
Thank you so much!
