I'm starting out in pyQt but I'm really struggling to make my push buttons (8 in total) do anything.

All I want to start is press pushButton1 = play cow.mp3

Help

Qt and Audio not a good mix at the moment.
Use Pygame with Pyqt.

have a look at maesynth which is python. Download from HAM, and all source code is there

Are you copying the code out of my tutorial? What kind of problem exactly are you facing, eg no sounds plays, error message, app fails to start?

it sounds like you've got your buttons on the GUI built ok, can you attach your files or paste the code in your main where the signals and slots are connected up?

I followed the fart app tut and that worked fine. But instead of selecting a sound/fart and then pressing a play button.

I just want press the cow button for moo sound. sheep for Baa etc.

sounds interesting want such a app too.
do you use the keyboard?
good luck with that

No just the screen, it'll be for my 22month old son

you are never too ld for some cow and sheep sounds
and btw:hes 22 months and I'm 22 years

Sure, it's a matter of rearranging the code.

I thought I'd try and give you a boost Ive made a simple project with two buttons, one that plays a cow mooooo and one a pig grunt grunt.. err grunt..



Ive zipped them up and attached them to the post. I hope you'll find it useful for your own project. To add more animals it's just a matter of adding more buttons to the gui, adding new methods (defs) to play the animal sounds in the main.py, and connecting the buttons to the methods (defs) in the main.py. If you open the main you'll see what I mean. Let us know how you get on

I wonder if there's any interest in making a full project out of this idea
