This is for v1.90.2, running on Mac OS
I need participants to change the preferences to the following:
audio library: [u’pygame’, u’pyo’, ]
audio driver: [u’portaudio’, ]
(Incidentally, does the audioDevice make a difference? I seem to have switched mine from auto to Built-in Output at some point…)
One participant has updated these preferences and the experiment has worked fine for them. However, another participant tried to do exactly the same thing and psychopy wouldn’t let him make the changes. He gets a message back saying:
Invalid value in “audio library” (“General”
Then when he goes back to the preferences window, everything has changed to:
Audio library: [u’[’, u’u’, u"’", u’p’, u’y’, u’g’, u’a’, u’m’, u’e’, u’,’, u’u’, u"’", u’p’, u’y’, u’o’, u"’", u’,’, u’ ‘, u’]’, ]
Audio driver: [u’ coreaudio’, u’portaudio’,]
if you look at this Audio library entry carefully, it says “u’pygame’, u’pyo’,” but with loads of 'u’s etc in it…
Any thoughts on what could be happening, and why it’s happening to him rather than to the other participant? This participant has a much more recent OS, so perhaps that has something to do with it?
