title: Why Am I Unable To Play WAV Files (PyGame Mixer)
body: <p>I am looking to play a .wav file using pygame but I can't seem to get it to work. Here is the error I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pygame.error: Unable to open file 'Audio Assets\never.wav'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the code I use to play the file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pygame
  
  pygame.mixer.pre_init()
  pygame.mixer.init()
  pygame.init()
  
  pygame.mixer.Channel(0).play(pygame.mixer.Sound('Audio Assets\never.wav'), maxtime=1000)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the WAV file itself (Yes it is Logan Paul at the suicide forest because my tiny monkey brain can't come up with a different example): </p>

  <p>I have alread tried converting it to a .ogg file but that won't work either. </p>
