Description of the problem: the experiment has a loop for playing sounds in each round, but when I run the online test the sounds are only played in the first execution.

Hi – this is a known issue which unfortunately hasn’t yet been solved. The workaround is to start the sound after the routine has started.

Sound not working when upload to pavlovia

Try putting the start time as 0.1 seconds

Issue with Sound Stimuli Not Playing in Second Loop of Randomized Trial

Try setting the start time of the sound as 0.5 seconds or add an ISI (in a fixation routine) and set the sound during it.

Sound problems in both online and local platforms

Are you using MP3 files? They don’t work locally. Online, make sure there is some time for the sounds to load. For example, try setting the start time at .5 seconds. Please add more details about your sound objects and code for more suggestions.

Pavlovia playing first sound file only

Hello, I had a similar problem with my procedure. I adjusted the start time of the sound from 0 to 0.01 seconds and the problem was solved.

Urgent Sound component not playing on some trials!

Have you tried setting the start time to 0.1 seconds?

I have the same problem in my experiment, I have 3 sounds in 3 routines in each loop trial, but only the first sound in the first routine of the first trial works when I polite it in pavlovia, I adjusted the starting time, it still doesn’t work…

and also I found in the properties settings of sound, the choise of “constant”, "set every repeat: is gray…

This setting is grey because sounds are never set at the beginning of the experiment, so the only options are every repeat and during a static period (and this latter option doesn’t yet work online).

What version of PsychoPy are you using? It might be worth trying 2024.2.0 rather than 2024.1.x

Thank you, I see, I use 2024.1.5. Now the sound problem solved when I put the same sound stimuli in different folders for each routine seperately. But the setting is still gray, maybe it is just as you said.
