The docs say: "The mixer module is optional and depends on SDL_mixer. Your
program should test that pygame.mixer is available and intialized before
using it." [1]

Have you tried checking that SDL_mixer is installed and pygame.mixer is
available? If that doesn't solve the problem, you could try the pygame
mailing list or one of the other options from the wiki. Unfortunately I
don't have the experience to be able to recommend any specific library.
