crashes in Python 3.11.8

[trappedinspacetime]

Merhaba,

I got a crash with Python 3.11.8

    python alarm.py 
    pygame 2.5.2 (SDL 2.28.2, Python 3.11.8)
    Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html

Ouch.
You can delete set_audio_device_to_builtin_speaker() function starting on line 28 and delete that function call on line 62 and finally remove the imports in lines 5, 6, 7.

That function just attempts to switch to the first audio device, hopefully the built-in speaker. It should work without that function.

EDIT: Oh, and you will also have to remove set_volume() function and the func. call at line 61. Honestly I don't know what's wrong by looking at the error so I would just amputate the script.

import pyautogui
import pygame
import time
import random
import os

pygame.mixer.init()
os.system("cls")
sound = pygame.mixer.Sound('sixtone.wav')
sound_playing = False

def play_sound_loop():
    sound.play(loops=-1)

def stop_sound():
    sound.stop()

def monitor_user_activity():
    global sound_playing
    
    last_mouse_position = pyautogui.position()
    last_activity_time = time.time()

    while True:
        time.sleep(1)
        
        current_mouse_position = pyautogui.position()
        
        if current_mouse_position != last_mouse_position:
            last_mouse_position = current_mouse_position
            last_activity_time = time.time()
            stop_sound()
        
        inactivity_time = time.time() - last_activity_time
        
        if inactivity_time >= 600:  # 10 minutes
            # Set a random waiting time between 2 and 5 minutes
            random_wait_time = random.uniform(120, 300)
            
            time.sleep(random_wait_time)
            
            if pyautogui.position() == last_mouse_position and not sound_playing:
                play_sound_loop()
                sound_playing = True
            elif pyautogui.position() != last_mouse_position:
                last_mouse_position = pyautogui.position()
                last_activity_time = time.time()
                stop_sound()
                sound_playing = False

if __name__ == "__main__":
    monitor_user_activity()

Easier done than said.
