As described in this reply, but to be more explicit: if a package 
installed wtihout error, and then you can't import it in Python, it's 
basically always a path problem.

Invoking pip the same way as you did to install, do:

pip show playsound

This will tell you where it put it. If that's not a place your Python is 
looking, it won't find it.
