OSError when tried to load librosa (import soundfile error)

Question

When I ran import librosa, I got the following error message:

OSError: cannot load library 'C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\bin\sndfile.dll': error 0x7e

and

OSError: cannot load library 'C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\_soundfile_data\libsndfile64bit.dll': error 0x7e.

I installed librosa package with conda install -c conda-forge librosa, pysound with conda install -c conda-forge pysoundfile, and soundfile with pip install SoundFile.

But this didn't solve the problem. Does anyone got a similar error or know how to fix this?

Update: I created a new environment on anaconda and installed librosa. This fixed the loading issue, but I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this issue in my base environment.

Answer 1

It may seem as a brute force approach but uninstalling and then installing the same module worked for me
