OS (Win10):
PsychoPy version (v2022.2.5):
What are you trying to achieve?: To play audio prior to my video file in a perception experiment.
What did you try to make it work?: My audio files are there in a folder right alongside my experiment and the path to them is correct so I really don’t know what else to try. The audio format is supported (.waw), the lib I choose is PTB.
I am very new to this, so any help is appreciated!
For all the errors regarding the video, that is configured for a different monitor then the one I am using at the moment.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
