My lab recently updated our matlab licenses to 2013a and we are running them on OSX Version 10.8.4.
We didn't have any trouble in the past week with the new version of matlab, but today when trying to run something, I got the "----- ! PTB - ERROR: SYNCHRONIZATION FAILURE ! ----" that I thought I had gotten rid of months ago.
It tells me to use Screen('Preference', 'SkipSyncTests', 1 ); at the top of my script (which would not cause us any real problems because we are dealing with auditory, not visual, stimuli). I have had that call at the top of my script for months and it had solved the problem until now.
So, the basic problem is that it is telling me to use SkipSyncTests, but I am already doing that and it is not fixing my problem.
In addition, I have also tried variations of adding in and taking away the following commands:
oldEnableFlag = Screen('Preference', 'SuppressAllWarnings');
warning('off','all');
If I use the SuppressAllWarnings command, I always reset it at the end of the script to the oldEnableFlag.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
