these are not courses i have made but i regularly use them
There is a whole series of these courses by this user, they seem to all have this same problem.
[quote=“Joshua, post:20, topic:1485”]For those who are experiencing this issue, please link me your course and the word which has the audio issue

I cannot remember with word i had the problem, but was this course: Yonsei Korean 1 Vocabulary 2017 (연세 한국어 1급 단어) on Memrise! http://www.memrise.com/course/1143018/
The issue apears ro be random: some times all answers are the same, usually they are different, and sometimes just two are the same.
[/quote]In ‘Yonsei Korean 1 Vocabulary 2017 (연세 한국어 1급 단어)’ I found two words that had this issue:
‘to be fast’ and
’pork cutlet’.
Acutally, recently, i got very few of these ‘choose the right audio out of three for this word’ tests. For example, today I reviewed about 100 words, and not 1 of them was an audio review. Any idea why?

…link me your course and the word which has the audio issue.
[/quote]Now I more information on the words that are experiencing the issue. In the past few weeks I have collected a few of them:
Is Memrise planning a fix for this? It affects subset of a core feature - i.e. testing.
Thank you for letting us know!
Note: Though the original poster reported this issue on iOS, all my reports are based on Android (as I have only Android). If I need to open a new proper bug report on the Android forum. please, let me know.
This is happening to the course I’m working on too:
https://www.memrise.com/course/1517426/learn-to-conjugate-common-french-verbs/
(I’m not sure if that work will link for others since the course isn’t public yet)
I also noticed it with another course that I was taking (I didn’t create it), which is here:
It makes the audio testing completely useless.
I have the same issue with course https://www.memrise.com/course/629122/a1-german/
All of the words are the same (every new word).
Same with my couple courses. Every word that I have seen has the same issue. Each of the buttons are the same word.
this has happened to me too… all loudspeakers make the same sounds… I don’t know which courses was this thing… this has happened only few times in few courses
Same here.
It wasn’t like this last year, but since several months ago, all the class I was using started to have this problem in every word.
Is anyone trying to fix the problem?
Thank you.
I’m also experiencing this problem, though interestingly only with the iOS version (the Android version-- latest from Google Play-- works okay). It crops up in multiple courses:
Deutsch for B1/B2/C1
First 500 characters in Mandarin Chinese
Characters 501 - 1000 in Mandarin Chinese
And a few more. All three sounds are the same.
I finally found a way to solve this problem, and it seems to work with all the courses I’ve created.
Here’s what to do:
- Go to “Edit course”
- Choose the first level and click “Show”
- Click the symbol next to “Test on Language 1, prompt with Language 2”
- Change the “Prompt with” selection to “Audio”
- Save
- Change the testing direction settings back to the settings you want to use.
The downside of this method is that all existing user progress on that level will be lost… But maybe Memrise could be able to identify and fix the real problem now…?

I’m learning German, and this is the same problem I have. It lists the English word, then instructs me to select the audio for the above. All the icons look the same and there is no other cue, so since I’m not clairvoyant, I can’t figure out what to choose.
It’s more than just a couple in the German course (ios, web). It’s all the audio ones so far. And all of them aren’t the same audio. I tried it just now to make sure on “please”: randomly selected on of the 3 unmarked icons and again was told I made a mistake.
I had moved from Android to iOS recently (about month ago) … after using Memrise Pro on Android without hitch, for more than year … immediately after I moved on iPhone, this Audio review behavior became standard for all the courses I attend (and I did not create any of those and I do attend dozens of them) … I honestly thought that must be some weird special feature of the iOS version of Memrise app.
Of all the curses I attend, I do the following most intensely and I can guarantee that the bug is present there (for me):
However I will contribute also with some new observation …
This behavior does not seem to stick with some particular words … it tends to appear the most (for me) to freshly learned (for not so long time ago) words … and when the word comes back in some later iteration the audio option is already presenting three real choices.
It does not feel like problem with the course’s setups at all, it seems rather like some strange behavior of the iOS Memrise app on the phone itself.
Very new and lovely course I started and is showing this behavior to me is also this one:

NOTE:
Look, after checking, aqll the courses mentioned and linked above have all one in common … THEY ARE!!..
…EITHER HUGE in number of words OR in KOREAN OR BOTH
As I reported earlier, that it is present in all the courses I attend - that would fit-in too, because … well I tend to choose if I can, only the big one as well (tired of small ones).
It looks like it is king of way how the Memrise try loafing around, if the course is too big for loading it or something in this direction. (I had no problem in Android though)

I’m not the course creator but noticed a couple of courses that have the correct audio file come up for all 3 choices on the iPhone. They are under Algonquian Languages. The course names are:
Ikidowinan ji-bimaadiziyan ojibwemoyan eta-go
Nibewigamig Ikidowinan
There is another course, though, where the audio testing seems to work fine on the iPhone - Gikinoo’amaading.
Thanks if you can fix the other two.

I have had that problem and gave up on audio on my ipad. I use a laptop. But now the lap top will do maybe 4 or 5 words for the audio test and just stop working. It won’t work at all right now. The problem is no longer that all the audio choices are the same but that it just doesn’t work after 4 or 5 words.
