Installing torchaudio in Windows

Question

I am trying to install torchaudio in Windows from source. I installed sox and added it in the path env variable. Then I run

python setup.py install

cloned from the GitHub. When I import torchaudio, I get warning

No audio backend is available.

I think this means that the sox is not configured correctly or I have done something very wrong. How to install torchaudio in Windows? My Linux machine is not good and I can't use Linux which has CUDA.

Answer 1

You need to install the backend. On Windows it's PySoundFile

pip install PySoundFile

This should do the trick You can follow torch documentation here https://pytorch.org/audio/backend.html
