[p5.js 2.0 Bug Report]: `loadSound()` is not defined in p5.js v2.x (TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined ‘pixels’)

[lab-mediaArts]

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• Accessibility
• Color
• Core/Environment/Rendering
• Data
• DOM
• Events
• Image
• IO
• Math
• Typography
• Utilities
• WebGL
• Build process
• Unit testing
• Internationalization
• Friendly errors
• Other (specify if possible)

p5.js version

2.0.3

Web browser and version

Chrome 137.0.7151.57

Operating system

Windows

Steps to reproduce this

Steps:

1. Opened project with sound that works in 1.x
2. Changed version to 2.0.3
3. Moved loadSound to function set up and changed function set up to async function set up.
4. Added await before the loadSound function.
5. Console reports TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'pixels') && ReferenceError: loadSound is not defined
   at setup (/sketch.js:9:3)

Snippet:

sketch.js

// Paste your code here :)
let note1, note2, note3, note4, note5, note6

async function setup() {
createCanvas(600, 400);
rectMode(CENTER)

soundFormats('mp3', 'ogg');
note1 = await loadSound('c.mp3')
note2 = await loadSound('d.mp3')
note3 = await loadSound('e.mp3')
note4 = await loadSound('f.mp3')
note5 = await loadSound('g.mp3')
note6 = await loadSound('a.mp3')
}

Hi @lab-mediaArts, can you confirm which version of p5.sound are you using? We have a new release of p5.sound.js while the older version has since been deprecated and it may not support 2.x of p5.js.

[lab-mediaArts]

Ahh okay. I am attempting to update a 1.x program with sound to work in 2.x. I'm guessing there is a new script to replace in the index.html. I'll give that a try.

@limzykenneth Separately from the p5.sound issue, I've encountered the .pixels error several times as something that's triggered when something doesn't exist, for exmaple:

function setup() {
  createCanvas(100, 100);
}

function draw() {
  background(200);
  if (someVar) {
    console.log("hi");
  }

}

Produce the "ReferenceError: someVar is not defined" in both 1.x and 2.x (expected) and the "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined ‘pixels’" in 2.x (unexpected).
