Hi all,

pd (Ver 0.40-2 by M. S. Puckette) doesn't produce any sound on my system (PC (1999), Win98SE) ,
not with testtone.pd or any of the sound examples.
Compute audio is on.
In Media/Audio Settings the name of my onboard sound card is shown correctly (ESS AudioDrive).
My sequencer programs and the Windows Media player work properly.

Thank you for any hints,
fred

are you using GEM by chance? I am having the exact same problem and am having a *helluva* time figuring it out. I thought the problem was my intel mac, then switched over to my powerPC, where the sound has worked very recently. (just before this unfortunate post in fact.)

Noob alert

anyhow, I am trying to link audio numbers to numbers which are controlling my video signal and in both instances(both computers) I can no longer get ANY audio out of pure data. my patches, the examples. nothing.

now, I didnt answer your question, but maybe we can get closer to a solution?

and sorry to ramble on.

Go to Preferences > Audio Settings
then choose your built-in-audio or whatever device you use
I have noticed that when I use my isight with GEM, PD sometimes defaults to use it as input AND output (!)
try that and I bet you will be ok
