Just got paid the full amount for an AI one that should’ve lasted for an hour, but ran out of tasks after 25 minutes. Which was quite nice.

Can I ask about some of these AI studies, I'm getting ones which are images, but mention in the prompt about audio. I'm not hearing any audio, is there something wrong with my setup I need to address or are these actually silent. I got another slapped wrist message this evening. I'm really paying attention as I don't want to get blocked from them, and can't see what else could have generated this other than not being able to hear audio and there being something in that that I've missed.  I've had audio ones and picked out the ones with fuzzy white sound to reject.

The ones I’ve done so far are either or, although they’re both mention audio in the description. 

There are the bog standard video ones, and then for some studies you get a description of the sound and then two audio tracks to listen to following which you have to choose the best. 

I presume at some point they’ll put the two together, but they’ve not done that yet with any of the  ones I’ve done yet. 

You can’t miss the sound on most of them, it’s not subtle.

Yes I've done the audio with two different tracks.  

Don't know what I've missed this time. Do you get the ones where the same video or image appears more than once? I'm sure I've been consistant with my answers with those this evening.

As far as I can tell all the audio ones have a prompt in red text telling you to turn your volume up. When you see that the whole set will have sound. There are image ones where they tell you what the sound will be like, but it isn't there. 

I've recently had my first warning, but the whole set of videos were terrible - more distortion than anything else, it was difficult to pick a best one.

Oh good grief, I've had another warning, this time about a low number of responses in the time allocated. It was an advertisement task with a lot of the text in foreign languages. I checked carefully that all the text was there and nothing extra (as there was in a couple of them). A bit unreasonable I thought.  Ho hum.

I returned one that I started when I picked a preference, but realised that although one was better than the other, neither were what the prompt suggested. Realising my mistake I decided to return it rather than continue and risk the consequences.  I think if I get foreign adverts again, I'll return it.

I think I got lucky because I was so bored with one task I actually fell asleep before completing it. Luckily I think it was only in the last five minutes of the hour,

Have the AI ones dried up or is it just me?

I had a couple of audio ones yesterday - the 15 minutes ones, a compare two conversations one which I never do because I hate them and then a new one which was called response language and localisation. Did one but it took a bit of concentration and it was late at night - brain not up to it so I didn't do any more. 
Nothing today but then I haven't really been looking. I think some of the hour ones popped up during the week when I was working. 

I am certainly getting fewer than previously  - either that or you just can't get into them.
