Do you still have Numeric installed and available? The docs for
pygame.sndarray say,
"Supported array systems are
numeric
numpy
The default will be Numeric, if installed. Otherwise, numpy will be
set as default if installed. If neither Numeric nor numpy are
installed, the module will raise an ImportError.
The array type to use can be changed at runtime using the
use_arraytype() method, which requires one of the above types as
string. "
Judging from this, and the error coming from
*numeric*snd.make_sound(), I think pygame is finding Numeric and
expecting its arguments to be Numeric arrays.
Try adding a call to pygame.sndarray.use_arraytype('numpy') before any
other pygame calls.
