Hello,
I am using PsychoPy Runner (v2025.1.0). Here is my experiment - link
I have built an experiment that sometimes has audio and sometimes does not. A new audio is triggered when the frame changes upon the participant clicking on a button. Essentially we are testing to see if the audio changes the way people perceive the word presented on screen.
Everything seems to be running smoothly and then occassionally the silent frames will make a glitching noise. I have the sounds running in a loop (with a 1 or a 0 to signify if there is audio in the spreadsheet) & none of the sounds repeat. So should be a simple cycle.
- I tried to fix it by adding a silent WAV in place of no audio, but it still occasionally made the noise. I also need psychopy to measure the click time when there is no sound, so I wanted to avoid using a wav for those frames if possible.
- I tried adding a fade_duration in the playback tab of the sound component and that didn’t work either.
- I also tried to add the has_audio == 1 to the start condition and that didn’t make a difference. The program seems to understand that there shouldn’t be an audio playing.
None of these changes have stopped the experiment from running, but it also hasn’t gotten rid of the problem. Does anyone have any advice?
Sorry if I have explained this badly, it is my first time using this program.
Thank you for your time!
