Hi,

Yes, I have tried setting up both in the Device manager. Just as the individual who recently posted to the forum reported, I have the exact same issue of no audio being recorded. I posted about this as well in more detail:

> OS (e.g. Win10): Win11 26200.9457 PsychoPy version (e.g. 2024.2.4 Py 3.8) Hi all, I’m sorry if this is a silly question with a simple fix- I’m operating through figuring PsychoPy out from the last 6 months of undergrad into beginning gradschool with no prior coding knowledge lol In essense, I am doing a nonword experiment in which a participant hears a word, then repeats it (after an intiation tone). That repetition is recorded. The audio played and the microphone that is recording are both …

I am also in the data collection process, and am lost on what to do, as just last week, the experiment worked great! I’m wondering if either of you have found a solution?
