Microphone Recording Error

OS: Win10
PsychoPy version: 2020.1.3
**Standard Standalone? Yes
**What are you trying to achieve?: I want to record sound with a microphone during a specific part of the task’s trials.

**What did you try to make it work?: I inserted a microphone component into the task.

What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
The experiment crashes and I get this message:

Experiment ended.

I know some others have had this issue for a while, and that it has something to do with this version of psychopy not talking properly with the device’s sound inputs. Is there any way to fix this?

Hello, I have the same problem… Did you find a way to fix this? Thank you!
