Hi Anna,
ok, if you haven’t changed the file before, your earlier problems can’t be related to that, and the steps I mentioned might still help.
You need admin (administrator) rights in order to change the program files on your computer. It’s a safety measure that protects important files. Do the following:
- Open the Windows start menu
- Type “editor”
- Right-click on “Editor” and choose “Als Administrator ausführen” (open as admin)
- Type in your administrator password (if you don’t know it, ask the responsible person)
- Press Crtl+O and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\PsychoPy2\lib\site-packages\psychopy\sound\
- Choose “Alle Dateien” (all files) at the bottom right (where it says “Textdateien” (text files))
- Open backend_sounddevice.py
- Press Ctrl+F and search for “self.sounds.remove(thisSound)”
- Remove “.sounds” right there
- Save the file (it should now be possible)
- Enjoy (hopefully)
