Ren'Py Ren'Py CoreAudio error

[Jonny Doe]

I downloaded a ren'py game yesterday and everytime I tried starting it up I got this error message:

"I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After initialization, but before game start.
Exception: CoreAudio error (AudioDeviceGetProperty (kAudioDevicePropertyDeviceIsAlive)): 560947818"

Realized that this is happening to every ren'py game that I have downloaded in the past (that have worked perfectly fine up until now), so I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to fix this error. My mac does have a faulty sound system, so it could be down to that but I dont see how the actual sound system would affect the code of every ren'py game I've downloaded. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

It does. That's pretty much the problem. It won't work if the audio system isn't working. Even if you have it on mute, don't want it, etc. Audio system must work.
