Audio library not appearing in Preferences (Mac)

Hello! My experiment is not running because I need to change what I have set up in my audio library in the Psychopy hardware. However, that topic is not even showing up in my preferences.


All I have showing up is audio driver, audio device, parallel ports, and Qmix configuration. Does anyone know how to obtain audio library?

For reference, my Mac is macOS Monterey version 12.6.5, and my Psychopy is v2023.1.2.

I am a beginner at Psychopy, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, could you possibly share the error message you get? (it will be in the “runner” view)

Thanks,
Becca

I’m actually having the same problem with 2023.1.2, but on a windows PC (Windows 10). I don’t have the audio library showing up in my preferences (but it does in the .cfg file). Error message is below.
