Anytime a sound needs to be played Im getting an error:

Any ideas?

`playsound` seemingly has a handful of Linux system package dependencies. Check if you're missing anything in the below list:
https://github.com/mgeitz/eqalert/bl...erfile#L17-L40

You may also need to install pygobject.

If you're running eqalert on a mac I'm not too sure though I know playsound should support mac as well.

If all else fails, as a last ditch effort if you've got docker installed I'd suggest trying out the docker image instead. The compose file assumes pulse audio running on the host, so I'd be interested to know if it could run on a mac.

I'm definitely planning to replace playsound with another cross platform solution down the road, the errors are vague and it hasn't seen active development in two years. If you've built locally and have another preferred way to play sound files this is only called in one place:
