Answer 1

Try installing/upgrading wheel:

pip install --upgrade wheel

This worked for me.

Answer 2

i was facing same issue. Try to exit and then re-enter then just do pip install wheel then pip install playsound

Sometimes, if you have already installed wheel, then pip uninstall heel then install it again, then install playsound
