This error is caused by a missing system audio library (libsndfile) required by the soundfile Python package on macOS.

Solution:

  1. Install the libsndfile library using Homebrew. Open your terminal and run the following command:

    brew install libsndfile
  2. After installation, restart the pyVideoTrans application.

If the error persists after installing libsndfile, you may need to reinstall the Python soundfile package within your virtual environment to ensure it finds the library:

  1. Activate your project's virtual environment (.venv).

  2. Reinstall the package:

    pip uninstall soundfile -y
pip install soundfile
  3. Restart pyVideoTrans.

Please refer to the relevant documentation:
