[open] Problem with audio files - String size and element size

simonesulpi

Dear all,

I have recently started to use Open Sesame. I'm trying to implement a very simple experiment: Participants listen to auditory stimuli and after each stimulus they have to evaluate it on a likert scale. The auditory stimuli are .wav files of 10 sec length. Now, I've just a pilot version of the program with a single trial
I'm using the Sampler object to play the audio files. When I try to run the experiment, an error message appears: "string size must be a multiple of element size". (the same error appears if I try with the audio files in the .ogg format)
I've tried to run the experiment with an audio file I downloaded from a tutorial on the website and in this case the program works (the audio file I downloaded is very short).

Can anybody help me?

btw my operative system is windows 7

Thank you very much!
Simone

Hi Simone,

It seems your audio files are in a weird format. Could you perhaps send one over, so I can have a go at converting it to something that might be readable to OpenSesame?

Best,

Edwin
