Question about setting up a wav file to repeat throughout experiment
Vanja Vlajnic
First off thank you for setting up this group - it's been a lot of help reading through.
I'm having some trouble figuring out how to make a sound file repeat itself every certain amount of seconds in EP1. Basically, I want to set this loop to play a beep in the background while other things are going on (stimuli being presented on the screen). I would need the sound to repeat itself during most of the experiment and was thinking that instead of ending the loop during the intermittent times I need it not to play, I would just mute the sound output (if possible from E-Prime) during these sections and just resume it after the section is completed.
What would you all recommend as the best way of succeeding this?
Thank you in advance for all the help.

Hi,
Did you succeed yet?
I thought this wasn’t possible, actually, thinking that whatever you create the sound object as will be permanent. But, not so; the sounddevice itself (turn on sound device in experiment settings, will create global “sound” object) can be adjusted. For example, if you have a soundout object (let’s call it soundout1, and make it play windows critical stop or some such, set it to loop, turn on volume control, and delete it/make it unreferenced), this will work:
Dim i As Integer
soundout1.Play
For i = -10000 To 0 Step 100
sound.Volume = i
debug.print i
sleep 100
Next i
sleep 2000
It looks better if you use a dual monitor setup and check the debug screen.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Michiel
