## 🐛 Bug

I’m getting this error:  
`AttributeError: module 'torchaudio._internal.module_utils' has no attribute 'requires_sox'`  
while importing torchaudio

## To Reproduce

I’m using a kaggle notebook  
just executed these lines:

```python
!pip install --upgrade torch
!pip install --upgrade torchaudio
import torchaudio

```
