Hi everyone, It’s my first post here so let me introduce myself to you. I’m the author of pyo, one of the many possible audio back-ends of PsychoPy. I spent a lot of time in the past few weeks to fix bugs related to conflicts between portaudio and the python Global Interpreter Lock and concernin…

Hi Olivier, thanks very much for the update and for making the effort to keep us informed. Cheers.

Hi Olivier, Do you have any advice on this issue? [image] Partial success getting PYO to work: help needed! Coding Hello all, I need to get PYO to work on a Windows 7 Enterprise Dell Optiplex 7040. It’s a requirement as colleagues are also using PYO on existing equipment…

Hi, First of all, on Windows, you must choose the good host (asio, wasapi (default as of 0.8.7), mme, etc.) and, if needed the good device ( Server.setOutputDevice(device_index) ). There is a script in the pyo documentation to test the audio setup on your system: http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/pyodoc/…

Dear Olivier, Thank you very much for the advice - that sounds very promising - I will have a go tomorrow. Cheers, Fintan

PYO now works on my system, see here: [image] Partial success getting PYO to work: help needed! Coding PYO now works on my system. I updated some code in sound/backend_pyo.py to this: # create the instance of the server: if platform in ['darwin', 'linux…

ASIO is probably a little better than wasapi regarding latency (if tout have an ASIO driver you should prefer it ). Quality will be the same, really! Olivier

Hello Oliver @belangeo I am new to psychopy and am using PsychoPy2 Experiment Builder (v1.90.1) to create a miniature natural language learning experiment. I am not using python. My experiment includes listen and repeat along with production trials and thus I need to utilize the microphone componen…

Hi, I don’t think you need to install pyo separately, I’m pretty sure that it is bundled with psychopy. You got the “pyo server not created” error much likely because you asked something your system was not able to do at this moment. You try to start a server in duplex mode (duplex=1), does the sy…

Okay the fact that pyo is bundled with psychopy makes sense. At this point, I am simply trying to create a draft of my experiment using my macbook pro’s built-in internal microphone which Omnidirectional, and which I believe is just one audio channel (mono). I do not know what you mean by starting…

update: i read some of the related comments and changed some things around in the preferences. Now it looks like this and it seems to be working: [image] This is very exciting. Any ideas as to why these minor changes (putting ‘pyo’ first in the audio library list’ enabled the mic component to wor…
