How to record a speech in psychopy? My microphone does not work

[natcarol2000]

If this template helps then use it. If not then just delete and start from scratch.

OS (e.g. Win10): iOS system
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): Psychopy 3
Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?:
What are you trying to achieve?:

I want to record sounds as input

What did you try to make it work?: I’ve tried to insert the microphone in a routine ( a screen asking the participant to describe a image)

What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
I get the following error:

Include pasted full error message if possible. “That didn’t work” is not enough information.

Libraries error running experiment

Hi, I am setting up a new task on the Builder and encountered the following error (see below). I tried on a different Mac (on which I usually run Psychopy) and I get the same error, but it seems to run ok on a Windows.

It does not seem to be related to any of the routines I added towards the end, as it persists even when I delete them all and simply keep a single routine with a text message. I’d very much appreciate…
