Volume Check in OSWeb

patricia_ami

Hello!

I want to implement a simple way that participants can check if the volume of their computer is at a comfortable level. I thought a way would be to have a sketchpad with some instructions to press "p" to play and replay the sound as many times as needed to check the volume. When participants are satisfied, they can press "enter" to continue onto the next task.

I'm having trouble implementing this. I've added my sketchpad, a keyboard response item, and a sampler item. Unfortunately, once you press "p" the sound only plays once, and then the experiment automatically proceeds to the next event.

Any suggestions on how to do this (or if you have another suggestion that would also be great!)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Patricia,

You could build your procedure into a loop, that runs more often than you would expect a reasonable person to want to replay the sound (100 times or whatever). Then, you could implement the sound to be played every time the key p is pressed, and the loop to be left and the experiment continued, every time a user presses c (or some other key).

Would that make sense?
