I wrote a topic here a couple of weeks ago with a problem I had, trying to get sound out of my sound card, and after I have tested a bit myself, I was wondering, does anyone else know about any incompability problems with PD and digidesign sound cards? I have a digi002 rack, running MacG5, OSX, and I don´t get any sound out of it through PD, though MIDI works, and sound works with the internal sound card, my M-Audio Ozone sound card. Would be great if anyone knows anything about this issue.

I hope anyone can help me out here.. I am by the way a newbie in PD, but have used Max/MSP for some time.

I have a couple of problems with PD when it comes to the sound part. I am running OSX on a G5, with a Digidesign digi002 rack as main sound card. The thing is, that i can´t get sound even when I run the "Test Audio and MIDI" patch from "Media", nor can I see anyhting happening in the boxes under "pd ------ audio-----"; it 0 all the way. This is with the digi002 soundcard. The same thing happens when I run the digi002 sound driver through JackOSX (so, the sound card i select in other words is Jack). On the other hand, MIDI in and out seems to work with digi002. Of course, I have also tried with the built-in sound card, and I have also tried with another sound card I got (M-Audio Ozone), and I get sound with both! Thanks a lot if anyone can give a hand on trying solving what´s wrong and how to fix it!

Also, I have another problem, when I open a new patcher, and want to create a sound object, it won´t let me write ~ ! I have tried to write the same, the same way in TextEdit, Max/MSP, and it works fine there, but not in PD. Also, it won´t let me copy and paste! If anyone knows anything about this issues, thanks!

Hmm.. funny.. I just tried install the extended version of PD, and now I get sound through the digi002! I must admit I have no clue about why it's so.. other than it might be one of the externals that supports the soundcard!

I see, this is a more common problem with digi002... I think it's also quite weird that it doesn't work through Jack either (of course, in other programs which it normally will work with, it works with jack). I also have problems with Ardour and Audacity, but neither the M-Audio Ozone nor the digi002 works with Audacity here then.. Anyway, I wonder if it would be possible then, to send the audio to other programs, like for instance CSound, and make it sound there? How to test that out once..
