I've tried both .mp3 files and .wav ones, neither works for this.

It's not customary to use self as a name in a non-class function.

What is the object that has this sound attribute?

Somebody familiar with both pygame and with sound might be able to help.

And if you get an error message, copy/paste the whole thing, don't 
paraphrase, and show the same code as what was failing.
