I have a new laptop that came with Vista 64 and I'm having problems with some of my older code that I use for multimedia processing. I narrowed the problem down to the winsound library; any attempt to play sounds results in a fatal error. The simplest case is:
>>> from winsound import Beep >>> Beep(440, 2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> RuntimeError: Failed to beep I have been able to recreate this problem in Python 2.6.1 (32-bit), 3.0.1 (32-bit) and 3.0.1 (AMD64 bit, which I hope is compliant with my IA64 CPU). I didn't find any open issues in the Python issue tracker. I would appreciate it if someone would confirm the issue on Vista 64 (I want to rule out that it is something with my audio configuration). Also, if someone with Vista 32 could try this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
