I'm using pd 0.36-0.. Using alsa's soundcard 0 (my internal speaker) with 'pd -alsadev 1' reports no problems, so it looks like alsa is working in general with this version of pd. I also tested with XMMS, which works fine with alsa and my internal soundcard, but generates error messages using usb audio about "Invalid input." So I'm guessing the problem here lies with the soundcard configuration. I tried alsaconf, but only the internal soundcard shows up, even though the EMI is loaded... ?

any help is appreciated,

best,
Nick


What version of Pd are you using? The recent 0.37-test versions have been producing some alsa error messages on my system. Have you tried pd -noadc? Have you tried aplay?

hello list,

ok, i've almost got my emagic emi 2|6 working after hacking together
some of the /etc/modules.conf files, but i'm now getting some strange
errors when i try to play through the device. i'm attempting to use
two devices, the internal soundcard and the emi. the internal
soundcard works, and running pd through device 0 works fine. but if i
try to run pd through the emi i get a lot of strange error messages.
if anyone has the time to look through these to help diagnose the
problem, i would much appreciate it!


here's the error messages from running pd:
