OS: Windows 10 PsychoPy version: 1.84 Standard Standalone? (y/n): yes
**What are you trying to achieve?:
The programme I’ve built can’t find the specified sound files, even though they’re in the same folder as the Excel file I’m using. I get the error message:
“TypeError: Could not open sound file Train.wav using pyo; not found or format not supported.”
I know .wav works because the same programme using a different Excel file and folder of stimuli works just fine, but with this Excel file and stimuli - absolutely nothing. I’ve tried putting the full file location into the Excel file with the same result, so I’m a bit stumped how else to help PsychoPy find the file.
It is a relatively stimulus heavy experiment I’m going to be running (62 trials: one sound file and 4 image files for each trial) and I wondered if the sheer bulk was causing problems?
If anybody could offer any insight, that would be great.
*Edit: having played around some more, if I take the sound element out then the images will load fine so it’s something about the sound files particularly that it’s having difficulty with.
Ah, okay - the way it was explained to me was that it was around the Excel file, not the .psyexp file. Unfortunately, they’re all in the same folder still so I don’t think that’s the problem, but thanks for the suggestion.
So, while looking into your file extension name suggestion, I noticed that the files were registering as having been recorded on a different computer, even though they hadn’t, and being blocked from use. Not sure why, but re-recording in a different programme has them registering properly and everything, so thanks for the prompt!
I had a similar problem and noticed the issue was with the way I had recorded the sound file. A stereo recording did not load (even thought it was a .wav type document also). It only worked once I recorded mono sound. Does that sound logical?
Might be helpful to someone with the same issue.
