Sampler Memory Error

jbf2727

Hi All,

Me again. All of the sudden, one of my tasks is giving me a memory error (see screenshot). The task (see screenshot) pulls an audio file from my pool (which is stored in the experiment folder), plays it, presents a stimulus on the sketchpad, and waits for a button box response. There are 4 sounds presented in sequence (uses a loop with 4 columns) and 48 trials (the loop has 48 rows). Any idea how to fix this? I have three other tasks in the experiment, which all run okay, and all of them use audio as well. It's just this one. Iv'e tried different legacy back-ends. I made sure garbage collection is disabled. The error only happens on this one computer, but it's the computer I need to use...so I'm kind of stuck.

Thanks!

Hi,

I made sure garbage collection is disabled.

You should uncheck the checkbox that says "Disable garbage collection". (I appreciate that the double negation is not very user friendly.)

If the memory error then still occurs, then I would first check if you are indeed running out of memory. You can do that by monitoring the system resources while running the experiment. Do you indeed see the free memory going down to almost nothing?

Cheers!
