Hello all!

I have a routine where I present a 3secs long sound file. Once the sound file ends, I would like the routine to end and another to start. However, while videos do have the “end routine” function, that does apply to sounds. In other words, how do I force the routine to end once the sound ends?

I would very much appreciate some help ^^

Thanks! 🙂
