BUG: FFmpeg does not support looping [26068]

This article applies to:

E-Prime 3.0

Symptoms

FFMpeg does not support looping of audio files.

Workaround

1. Increase the audio file length (that way you do not need to loop). You can use third-party applications such as Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org/) to copy/loop the sound file.
2. Use DirectShow with the DirectSound API. To change the Codec Config to use DirectShow:
1. Open up Codec Config in E-Studio by going to Tools > Codec Config.
2. Select the file type under Extensions (e.g. .wav).
3. Choose File Source (Async.).
4. Click Choose Codec.
5. Press X then Save.
6. Navigate to the Experiment Object Property Pages > Devices tab > Sound properties and set the Sound API to DirectSound.
