Hello, and welcome to the forum!
The code snippet you’re posting has syntax errors. Computers are picky. 😊 It has nothing to do with `p5.sound.js`. If you fix the syntax errors, your sketch will run:
```javascript
// The function keyword has to be present.
function setup() {
// Case is important, createcanvas won't work.
createCanvas(400, 400);
}
function draw() {
background(220);
rect(5, 5, 40, 30);
}
```

Thanks but I did eventually get it to show
I had to get rid of p5.sound.js though
How can I get p5.sound.js to work

in the index.html, write like this below the line where its written p5.play.js
``
don’t forget to put the file in the same folder as index.html

I see several syntax errors, such as: missing the keyword `function`, missing `()` after the function names, and incorrect case on `createCanvas()`. Can you share your code? I am guessing the syntax errors are breaking your program …

Im aware I should have specified it was sudo code
The issue was with p5.sound.js
Because when I removed it from the index.html I got my sketch to work

K … glad you got is solved.
Sounds like you may need to further investigate your issue though for when you want to use the sound lib.
