Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: v0.40.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: rhythmic glitching on PowerBook G4 Initial Comment: On an Apple PowerBook G4 1.67GHz running 10.4.7, the sound always had a pulsing glitch on it no matter if any sound was being generated or not. When I switched the output sampling rate to 48000, the glitching went away. When I switched back to 44100, the glitching came back. I saw this one other time on a PowerBook, but it was also happening to Audacity. This time it was only happening for Pd. My guess is that its related to portaudio. This was on a student's laptop, so I can't test again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Date: 2007-01-16 10:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=27104 Originator: YES I saw this on another PowerBook G4 1.67GHz. That seems to be the only model affected. Setting to 48000 fixed it also. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fred Inklaar (inklaar) Date: 2006-11-27 20:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=417856 Originator: NO OK, because of zmoelnig's comment I also tested vanilla pd-0.39-2 on my PowerBook. Unfortunately, that did *not* solve the problem, the pulsing glitch is there anyway, But the problem is also slightly different than Hans-Christoph's description: I *do* need to generate a sound to hear the glitching pulse. Doesn't matter what sound, sinus or noise. The output sound gets dropped and restored very frequently, on a regular interval. That is what causes the pulsating glitch. So, without output no restore, thus no pulse. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Fred Inklaar (inklaar) Date: 2006-11-27 20:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=417856 Originator: NO This bug is present in all versions I tested above Pd version 0.38.4-extended-RC8.
