I have just downloaded the latest version of Puredata (0.55.2). When I start Pd, on the very first patch I run I get "audio input device number (0) out of range". The patch works and if I close the patch and reopen it or open another patch, I get no error message. It is only the first patch I run after starting puredata.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong and if I ought to do something about it?
I'm on Windows 11.

what's on your patch? do you have externals?

I have realised I do not need to open a patch. All I do is turn on DSP and I get the message. If I turn off DSP and turn it on again, I get the same error message.

@oleathlobhair Are you using the computer soundcard, or an external one?
And keep an eye on https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/14966/audio-i-o-error in case a solution is posted there....

I'm using the computer sound card.

@oleathlobhair When you set the input and output in the Pd Media Audio settings tab there is no longer just an apply and OK button, but also a "save all settings" which should store the setup to the registry.
If you click that button once you are set up and working properly.....do you still have the problem when you restart Pd?

[https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/user/whale-av] I have found the problem. In Media - Audio Settings I currently do not have any input device and needed to deselect the input device, even though it was recognised as being absent.
Thanks.
