[https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/user/whale-av] I have found the problem. In Media - Audio Settings I currently do not have any input device and needed to deselect the input device, even though it was recognised as being absent.
Thanks.

I'm using the computer sound card.

I have realised I do not need to open a patch. All I do is turn on DSP and I get the message. If I turn off DSP and turn it on again, I get the same error message.

I have just downloaded the latest version of Puredata (0.55.2). When I start Pd, on the very first patch I run I get "audio input device number (0) out of range". The patch works and if I close the patch and reopen it or open another patch, I get no error message. It is only the first patch I run after starting puredata.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong and if I ought to do something about it?
I'm on Windows 11.

Sounded great, until I tried it and got the following error messages:

couldn't open ".../AppData/Roaming/Pd/dekentmp.0": no such file or directory

(command bound to event)

I have been running some old patches in the latest version of Pd and get error messages for [pink~] and [freeverb~] indicating they are not supported. Are there newer versions that provide pink noise and reverb?

@jameslo I have created a new patch with the new version, but when I try to save it in the old location, the location cannot be seen or found, and using the recent folders in file explorer, I get the error message that the location is unavailable, even though I have both versions of Pd up and running at the same time.

@whale-av The folder still exists; I can access it using the old version of Pd.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I get the error message "Error: can't create directory ..."
