psychopy.sound - play various forms of sound

Sound

PsychoPy currently supports a choice of two sound libraries: pyo, or pygame. Select which will be used via the audioLib preference. sound.Sound() will then refer to either SoundPyo or SoundPygame. This can be set on a per-experiment basis by importing preferences, and setting the audioLib option to use.

It is important to use sound.Sound() in order for proper initialization of the relevant sound library. Do not use sound.SoundPyo or sound.SoundPygame directly. Because they offer slightly different features, the differences between pyo and pygame sounds are described here. Pygame sound is more thoroughly tested, whereas pyo offers lower latency and more features.
