OK, so, at a guess the transcription library that we use (pocketsphinx) is expecting a newer version of the openal library than you have installed on OS X Sierra.
Workaround options:
- You might be able to update that using
brew install openalfrom your terminal - You could edit the file
/Volumes/PsychoPy-2022.1.2/PsychoPy.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.8/psychopy/sound/ __init__ .py
and put try…except around the import of the transcribe library as below
try:
from .transcribe import * # import transcription engine stuff
except ImportError:
pass
It means that, if pocketsphinx fails to load, it gracefully allows sound just without transcription. I’ve just made a fix to the central code to do the same thing, which will be in the next bug-fix release
best wishes
