title: The specified device is not open or is not recognized by MCI
body: <p>I was programming a game using Python and a sound effect needed to be played, so I used the playsound module:</p>
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>from playsound import playsound
  
  playsound(&quot;Typing.wav&quot;, False)
  </code></pre>
  <p>And when I attempted the run the program this error was returned:</p>
  <pre><code>Error 263 for command:
          open Typing.wav
      The specified device is not open or is not recognized by MCI.
  </code></pre>
  <p>I did some research and some sources indicated that it was an issue with my sound drivers. I updated &amp; reinstalled it, but the issue persists. Is there any way to solve this?</p>
