ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_sounddevice_data'

[sprocket1]

Hi, I'm very new to Python and Spyder.
I'm getting this on the Spyder console, seems related to #110 but I'm not sure what to make of it.

import sounddevice as sd
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in
import sounddevice as sd

File "C:\Users\James\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sounddevice.py", line 73, in
import _sounddevice_data

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_sounddevice_data'

[mgeier]

How did you install the sounddevice module?

[sprocket1]

conda install -c conda-forge python-sounddevice

[sprocket1]

I should add that I've done this on two separate Win7 machines, one 64bit and one 32bit. I get the same result on both.

[mgeier]

OK, this should be fixed in #122, but I haven't made a new release since then, therefore it isn't available on conda-forge yet, either.

I'll make a release in the next few days, and hopefully soon afterwards this will also be available on conda-forge.

In the meantime, you should try to install the sounddevice module with pip, which should work fine.
Note that it is no problem to use pip within a conda environment.

If you are having troubles installing, don't hesitate to ask for help here.

[sprocket1]

Thank you so much. That seems to have worked. Now the fun begins...

[mgeier]

An automatic update on conda-forge is in progress, but there seems to be a minor problem keeping it from finishing: conda-forge/python-sounddevice-feedstock#1.
If anybody knows how to solve this, please do!

[mgeier]

Version 0.3.11 is now on conda-forge.

@sprocket1 Can you please check if it works for you?

[74HC14]

I've just tried running sounddevice in Spyder on macOS and got an identical issue with 0.3.11 as installed through conda-forge.

[mgeier]

@74HC14 Thanks for checking this out. On macOS, there is a different problem: the dependency portaudio (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/portaudio) doesn't seem to be available for macOS on the conda-forge channel, or is it?
Do you get an error/warning message on installation?

It seems to be available in the anaconda channel (https://anaconda.org/anaconda/portaudio), was this package installed in your case?

[74HC14]

Ah, that looks like that was probably the problem. I've just run it through pip now without a hitch, thanks for the quick reply.

[mgeier]

@74HC14 Did you check if the portaudio package from the anaconda channel gets installed in your case?

I've just created #144 for trying to load the dylib from anaconda, but I cannot test it because I don't have a Mac.
Does this work for you (by not using the dylib installed by pip)?
You can simply try to add this one line by hand: https://github.com/spatialaudio/python-sounddevice/pull/144/files

See also #122.

[74HC14]

Just uninstalled sounddevice by pip and reinstalled via conda install -c conda-forge python-sounddevice. Running conda list has rows of both
portaudio 19.6.0 h41429eb_1
along with the
python-sounddevice 0.3.11 py_0 conda-forge
and I still get the error.

Portaudio is still present after uninstalling the conda sounddevice.

[mgeier]

@74HC14 Thanks for testing! So the portaudio package seems to get installed automatically, even though it doesn't exist (for macOS) in the conda-forge channel. Or did you install the portaudio package before?

It is still not expected to work unless you apply the one-line change from #144!

[74HC14]

Going back through terminal's history doesn't come up with any installs of portaudio so I'm pretty sure it was already in there, presumably bundled with Anaconda's default modules.

[mgeier]

@74HC14 Did you try if the change from #144 works for you?

To determine which file was actually loaded, please provide the value of sounddevice._libname.

[sprocket1]

Sorry for the late reply. I just now tried conda install sounddevice from my base environment (python 3.6.4) and it did not work. I then created a new environment (for other reasons) based on python 3.5.5 and tried that again. Again, it did not work. It did work with pip install.

@sprocket1 Is there an error message?

@sprocket1 As you mentioned yourself (#137 (comment)), this is the command to install it:

conda install -c conda-forge python-sounddevice

[sprocket1]

Matthias, Sorry about that, I have been distracted. That command worked just fine! I want to thank you for developing sounddevice. It really is a great utility, and has enabled me to get my application built with a minimum of hassle. On that note, I have a related question for you. I am looking for help in packaging my Python app into an self contained exe app for Windows. I’ve been struggling with Pyinstaller, Py2Exe and cx_freeze. All those tools seem to be broken for moderate to complex apps. I can give more specifics, but first I would just as if you know someone who might be able to help? This would be paid worked.

@sprocket1 I'm glad that it works now for you! And thanks for the praise!

I'm sorry, but I have no experience with any of the Python-bundling-tools and I don't know anyone who has.
The only related discussion here was #130.

If you find out any ways how to make the sounddevice module work better with those tools, please let me know!

[sprocket1]

FYI, yesterday I had success using Pynsist to create a bundled installer that makes an independent python installation with all the project dependencies in the user’s directory of choice, regardless of whether they already have Python installed on their computer or not. That serves my needs for now, and the process was relatively painless.

OK, thanks for the information.
I'm closing this issue, but feel free to add further information if you find out something new!

I am also facing the exact same issue. Tried above answers but still No Luck.

If there are still problems, please create a new issue providing the information mentioned in https://python-sounddevice.readthedocs.io/en/0.4.6/CONTRIBUTING.html#reporting-problems

And please mention what exactly you tried and what exactly happened. Simply saying "Tried above answers but still No Luck" doesn't really help. Be more specific!
