1951446409 ) into Anki and you can install it. ( Menu -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Code [ add-on code ] )This Anki add-on is a fixed version of Advanced Answer Sounds. Linux and Mac support has been added. (beta)
choice_simpleaudio.py workWhen the Add-on is launched, it identifies the device and version, overwrites the necessary files and saves them.
I used this to create each wheel (Github Actions):
It would be ideal to put each wheel in the add-on and decompress it but the size is too large so I split it up and it becomes the spaghetti code🍝
Mac and Linux support python3.9 Linux is Python 3.9-3.13, if the Anki version of Python changes it will be broken and the code will need to be fixed.
I don't yet test it on all devices so I don't know if it works well.
