Hello,
Can you please share the structure of your files and how you declared the audio files in your spreadsheet?

Did you put the file format at the end of the name?
For example, mySound.mp3

If your audio file is in a folder, don’t forget to put it in the path.
For example, audio/mySound.mp3

After looking at your audio files, your error may relate to this: Part1_Audio = sound.Sound(‘Audio_Part1’,
I thought that the first paramater of sound.Sound is supposed to be the name and location of the sound file. So, two things you can try, but the first is easiest for testing.
Could you try changing the code to be this:
Part1_Audio = sound.Sound(Audio_Part1, the rest the same.
notice the missing quotation marks.
If that doesn’t work, try these two changes:
Part1_Audio = sound.Sound(‘Audio/1.wav’, the rest the same.
print('value of Audio_Part1: ', Audio_Part1)
and then report back what that says.

Sure, thank you. I’ll get back on that
