The experiment will begin when the participants clicks on the picture. It will be a 6 minute audio file. The participant should have the option to pause the sound and resume by clicking on the same picture/button. I read on another thread that Inquisit doesn't support pausing/resuming video files. Does it apply to audio files too? If not, what is the syntax to pause/resume an audio with a button press? I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you. Yes., the limitation applies to audio files as well. There is no way to pause / resume an audio file, I'm afraid. _Perhaps_ one method you could explore is to embed the audio in a HTML file along with a small player that allows for pausing. You could then have your Inquisit script display that HTML file as a stimulus per the <html> element.

When i use video and sound as bgstim only the video stops but the sound keeps playing. also tried different sound files, maybe it is a codec problem. i used Audacity to create "WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit pcm"

FWIW, sounds stop / change with a new block for me as they should. #1: What's your OS (type and version)? #2: Is your Inquisit installation up to date? If not, please install the latest release? #3: What happens when you use a <video> element instead of <sound>? Thanks.

After the block ended the music keeps playing and doenst stop as it should. Is there any mistake i am too blind to see? <block Spielrunde_neutral> / bgstim = (Musik) / trials = [1 = sequence(instructions_contributions, verhaltenA_no_fear, verhaltenB_no_fear, verhaltenC_no_fear)] / onblockend = [values.totalwin_p=(values.firstround_win+values.secondround_win+values.thirdround_win); values.totalwin=((values.firstround_win+values.secondround_win+values.thirdround_win)40); values.totalwin_plus=(((values.firstround_win+values.secondround_win+values.thirdround_win)40)+2400); ] </block> <sound Musik> / items = ("test1.wav", "test2.wav", "test3.wav") / select = noreplace / playthrough = false / selectionrate = block / resetininterval = 0 </sound>
