pyQt5 issues using QtMultimedia

[Corey Hartley]

Hi all,

I've been experiencing some issues using the latest version of pyQt5
(5.15.10), specifically when importing the QtMultimedia module.  I've been
receiving the following error:

> declarative_multimedia.dll: The specified module could not be found.
>

A coworker and I have reproduced this on both of our machines, which makes
us think that it isn't just an issue with a specific install (we are both
using Windows 11).  I haven't been able to find much information elsewhere
on what this issue could possibly be.  I have started to assume that there
is potentially a  missing dependency `dll` that I'm missing somewhere?

I've used an application called "Dependency Walker" to try to see if I'm
missing anything, and it hasn't been able to find qt5multimediaquick.dll,
which it claims is used by declarative_multimedia.dll. I'm currently in the
process of attempting to build pyQt5 from the source code to see if I can
find that DLL and potentially use it, although not an ideal solution as we
would need to duct tape that file into our build in some way going forward.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
