[open] Sound error message, but sound on laptop is working

edited November 2015 in OpenSesame

I get the error message: "Unexpected error line: 425 exception message: No available audio device exception type: error", but the sound on my laptop is working. I am running Opensesame under Lunbutu on an ACER Aspire One. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

    Hi Frouke,

    Although this may be a Linux-related problem that I'm not aware of (I don't have Linux), would you mind sharing how you plan to initiate a sound in your experiment? We have to make sure that you initiate and use the sampler correctly of course.

    Cheers,

    Josh

    Thanks Josh.

    My experiment does not use any sounds, but it still give a sound error message.

    This happens when pygame cannot initialize the sound mixer. There's not really a workaround, but it's very rare and generally indicates a problem with the sound device—even if sound is apparently not completely broken for you.

    Does that help at all? I know it's a bit vague.
