OS (e.g. Win10): Win11
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): 2023.2.1
Standard Standalone? (y/n) y
What are you trying to achieve?:
I’m still getting familiar with PsychoPy and I want to add a sound into the experiment
What did you try to make it work?:
I clicked stimuli>>sound, and I selected a .wav file in my computer.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
Include pasted full error message if possible. “That didn’t work” is not enough information.
Here’s what it said:

I will be grateful for any help you can provide.
Could you upload the minimal experiment file that demonstrates the problem, and also the sound file you tried to play? It’s very hard to guess the issue from the current info. Thanks
Is there a microphone component? If so, try changing the frequency to DVD quality from “voice”.

Hi everyone, thanks for your responses. Here are the files. Once I choose ‘stimuli >> sound’ and add any .wav file, it just crashes. Would you recommend me to reinstall PsychoPy? Or it crashed because I accidentally left out some details.
I truly appreciate your help.
I’ve tried this, but there is no microphone component in the experiment; thank you! 
You could try a different audio library.
