Hi all,
I’m trying to change language localization using Preferences>app and errors appear:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\PsychoPy2\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\preferencesDlg.py", line 246, in onOK
    self.onApply(event=event)
  File "E:\PsychoPy2\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\preferencesDlg.py", line 238, in onApply

    for val in value])
  File "E:\PsychoPy2\lib\site-packages\configobj.py", line 1812, in _quote
    raise ConfigObjError('Value "%s" cannot be safely quoted.' % value)
configobj.ConfigObjError: Value "Casque (@System32\drivers\bthhfenum.sys,#2;%1 Hands-Free%0
;(Bose AE2 SoundLink))" cannot be safely quoted.

[Quite strange that it tried to access my headphones (Bose AE2 SoundLink)]

The story behind this is that I can’t configure monitors neither in the monitor center nor through code.
I suspected a incongruence between native language localization and mine (French).

Any idea?

I experienced the same error. Newline characters in the name of audio device seems to cause this error. I’ve sent a pull request to fix this.

BF: Preference cannot be saved if newline character is included in the name of sound device
