No audio out using pygame and pHAT DAC

I’ve been working on a bigger project on rpi 3 and wanted to move to the zero to save space. The project has mp3 files that play using pygame.mixer.music and worked on the rpi 3 and zero (on hdmi audio) once I added the pHAT DAC and did the automatic config and manual. The python script no longer plays sound but I can play the mp3 files using vlc and they sound great. The most basic piece from the program that doesn’t work is below. Thanks in advance.

Import pygame

Pygame.init()

Pygame.mixer.music.load(“sample.mp3”)
Pygame.mixer.music.play()
