Hello,
I am using ubuntu 10.10 with jack and I have the latest stable release of pd-extended (0.42.5). I am using M-Audio Fast Track Pro with 48000 sampling rate and I have set up the same sampling rate on pd.
My problem is that when I accidentally blow up my patch, for example, by accidentally increasing the final amplitude number box to values like +10, the output begin to sound distorted. I test the sound with the Audio Tester patch and the simple osc tone sound distorted.
I checked my sound levels, frame buffer rates, buffer size, turned on/off dsp, anything I could think of, but I still face the same error. I only get back to normal after I reconnect to jack.

Anyone else encountered the same problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best,

I've had similar problems with a reverb object getting a sudden transient that then seems to max white noise that particular dac until I reset the reverb. I'd suggest setting a range on the number boxes so you don't accidentally overshoot or search the forum for some excellent limiter/compressors.

AFAIK Jack settings are more touchy than PD audio settings, always good to experiment with those.

Hi, Thanks for the response.
I am certainly playing with the jack audio settings.
However, I never encountered such a problem with SuperCollider before. I should remember to cross check this distortion on PD with SC.
