Hello,

I have been using Pd for a while, and now I am working on some patches with an external audio interface to get audio input from a guitar. However, I am experiencing a problem with one of my audio interfaces.

I have the Alesis io4 audio card. I can connect it to my computer and use it with other software without any problems. However, when I try to launch Pd with this interface connected, Pd suddenly crashes without reporting any error. I have tried to use another interface (Scarlet 2i2) and Pd opens succesfully.

I would like to know if someone have experienced this problem with an external audio device, and if so, if you have any idea about how to solve it. Maybe is there any configuration i should do before the software can recognize the device?

Thanks for your attention,

cheers

@inioms Hi,
Always state your platform: Windows, Mac or Linux and also what version of pd you are running: pd-extended or vanilla or l2ork.

Cheers~

Yes sorry, I totally forgot... I am using Mac OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks). And pd-extended 0.43.4.

Thanks

@inioms i don't run this platform, but you can try to reset the pd-settings:

Mac OS X
On Mac OS X the settings are stored via the native defaults system which stores things in plist files. (i.e. ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist). You can edit them with the command line util defaults, like defaults read org.puredata.pd. For Pd-vanilla, they are stored in org.puredata.pd. For Pd-extended, they are stored in org.puredata.pdextended.

@EEight thanks for the advice.

I am going to try this. Someone gave me few ideas too. Anyway, i will let you know if I manage to solve the problem.

Cheers
