Unable to play sound files

[Ieva Zeromskaite]

 

Hello,

I am having problems with the loading of sound files. After showing the instructions, neither the Slide Object (with a soundfile inside) nor the SoundOut Object plays when I run the experiment. 

I checked that the soundfile names are correct, in the same file as the eps file, procedure titles are correct too. There's something wrong with the SoundBuffer, however, Eprime script doesn't say what exactly.

Below is the script's copy : 

****

SoundOut1.ResetLoggingProperties

      Set SoundOut1SoundBuffer = SoundOut1.Buffers(1)

      SoundOut1SoundBuffer.Filename = c.GetAttrib(ebUCase_S & ebLCase_o & ebLCase_u & ebLCase_n & ebLCase_d & ebUCase_F & ebLCase_i & ebLCase_l & ebLCase_e)

      SoundOut1SoundBuffer.Load

 

      ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

      '     Label - Procedure_Timeline_Start BEGIN

      ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

 

Procedure_Timeline_Start:

      If Err.Number = ebInputAccepted Then

            Err.Clear

            Resume Procedure_Timeline_StartResume

      ElseIf Err.Number <> 0 Then

***

 

I would be grateful if anybody could help me with that.

Thanks,

Ieva

i assume the sounds play fine by themselves in native windows? In which case, have you run PST's 'codec config' utility program on the machine that you want to run the experiment on? I don't have e-prime to hand but I believe you need the file/render file option and you're looking to get green ticks to indicate that all is well.

Ieva,

This came up again just today at
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/e-prime/IfXqfrtC3Xc . As I said
there, if you use EP2.0.10 or later then first see
http://www.pstnet.com/support/kb.asp?TopicID=3299 .

Oops, sorry I intruded on this old thread (I was responding to an old
message still in my in box). I see now that JACanterbury already
solved this by steering the OP to use Codec Config.
