for macOS only helps to install pip install soundfile, sox and ffmpeg already has been installed in system but torchaudio error still was

the list of available backends is empty, please install backend manually.

You need to install the audio file I/O backend. If Linux it's Sox, if Windows it's SoundFile

To check if you have one set run str(torchaudio.get_audio_backend()) and if 'None' is the result then install the backend.

SoundFile for Windows pip install soundfile

Sox for Linux pip install sox

Check out the PyTorch Audio Backend docs here

Just to put it out there.

I am using conda on windows 10. I tried to install PySoundFile from conda distribution conda install -c conda-forge pysoundfile but it doesn't work.

Turns out we have to use pip install PySoundFile
