I installed PD today and whenever I try to select ASIO in the media menu PD becomes inoperable, the cancel, apply, and ok buttons in the audio settings window do not work, and I cannot close the program. I am using a Lexicon Alpha audio interface with Asio4All drivers, which work fine in Reaper. No combination of settings allows me to hear sound from the testtone.pd. I'm in Windows XP (32bit).

I really hope it's possible to resolve this issue as I was really looking forward to starting to create instruments and effects with this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can anybody help? I've tried so many things, but whenever I select "ASIO (via portaudio)" it just stops working.

Hey GurtTractor,

I'm not a windows guy, but can you set the driver by configuring the puredata command? In linux I can run pd with a -jack flag to set the IO before the program even starts. Also, have you installed the extended version? did you download it here? If not, i'd try installing that one.

Thanks for the reply.

How do I go about setting the driver before startup? All I really need it to do is get it outputting via Rearoute into Reaper.

I have the extended version installed (0.43.4). Your link is for the vanilla one, should I try that instead?

Try typing 'pd-extended -asio' in the cmd terminal. If that doesn't work, try the vanilla, just to see if it works...
