Hi. I am trying to record voice using microphone, but I get below error and experiment crashes. I was able to run my experiment just fine with another microphone, so I am not sure what’s wrong.

**OS** (e.g. Win10): Win10  
**PsychoPy version** (e.g. 1.84.x): v2022.2.3  
**Standard Standalone? (y/n)** If not then what?: y  
\*\*What are you trying to achieve?: I am trying to record voice and get voice onset timing

\*\*What did you try to make it work?:I connected microphone and used mic component. I have enabled the microphone in sound setting, correctly set the sample rate, and even upgraded the sound driver.

**What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:**  
I got this error message below:  
tmpmic = sound.microphone.AudioCapture(name = ‘tmpMic’, filename = ‘’)  
AttributeError: module ‘psychopy.sound.microphone’ has no attribute ‘AudioCapture’

Hi suelynnmah. I’ve resolved the issue (It was a typo!). Thanks for asking!
