hello

here attached my big patch with 5 audio inputs and outputs which are controlled through a 6ch external sound card. the entire patch controls an interactive sound installation with 5 vibration sensors which initiate each audio file uploaded into the patch in order to playback pre-recorded sounds in 5 different loudspeakers

test.pd

at the beginning the system does work well, then I started to notice any signals/numbers when iteracting with the bonk object, the pacth does crash very often as soon as I change something on the settings or console audio, and I have to restart the sound card or the computer machine in order to get the system work again (except the IN/OUT signals which is not showing up)

very annoing and there is something strange that I cannot figure out what it is. please check the patch and tell me what you encouter when open it

thanks

This is probably what is crashing your system. Turn DSP off before switching settings.

Have you tried turing on your level meters with the checkbox?

No, where can I get this checkbox window?

For DSP would yuo say the m-audio sound card, right?!?!

here a screenshot of my pd checkboxes but no level meters seems to appear during interaction

here another screenshot of my sound card control panel working okay during interaction

@betta I can't see your screenshots in your post, but I can download them and see them on my computer. Maybe it would be better if you would re-upload the images in a web-friendly image format such as jpg or png instead of using tiff.

here they are!!! sorry
