First of all, the file that I want to play is not the reason for the error; this looks like a problem with ALSA. As you can see, even when I want to start the sound file directly in the terminal (auto-complete) I am getting an error. If I start my Python program as root (I have to start it as root cause the keyboard-module) this problem occurred: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1032snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave Stopping program Stopping program Traceback (most recent call last): File "[...]/run.py", line 26, in <module> main() File "[...]/run.py", line 11, in main GameStateManager.change_gamestate(SetupState()) File "[...]/src/game_state.py", line 103, in __init__ self.setup_sound_manager() File "[...]/src/game_state.py", line 110, in setup_sound_manager GameState.sound_manager = SoundManager() File "[...]/src/utils.py", line 253, in __init__ mixer.init() pygame.error: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: No such file or directory If I run a a sound manually with sudo aplay test.wav than this error comes up: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1032snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave System /- ooo: ---------------------------- yoooo/ OS: ArcoLinux yooooooo Kernel: 5.17.4-arch1-1 yooooooooo Uptime: 3 days, 23 hours, 2 mins yooooooooooo Packages: 1373 (pacman) .yooooooooooooo Shell: zsh 5.8.1 .oooooooooooooooo Resolution: 1920x1080 .oooooooarcoooooooo WM: i3 .ooooooooo-oooooooooo Theme: Arc-Dark [GTK2/3] .ooooooooo- oooooooooo Icons: Sardi-Arc [GTK2/3] oooooooo. oooooooo Terminal: alacritty oooooooo. oooooooo CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx (8) @ 2.000GHz ooarcooo .oooarcooo GPU: AMD ATI Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series oooooooy .ooooooooo Memory: 2015MiB / 6904MiB (29%) oooooooo /ooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo .-ooooooooooooooooo. ooooooooo- -ooooooooooooo. ooooooooo- .-oooooooooo. ooooooooo. -ooooooooo This question is totally unrelated to my problem, which is with the audio component specifically being unable to open the driver.
