hi john without knowing the deeper details of and reasons for your problem i suggest the following: -try to run jack with your delta 1010LT -then try out, if any other application can use your soundcard over jack -if yes, then try 'pd -jack', so that pd connects to jack and then maybe you can use your soundcard without freezing.
from my experience, i solved many problems concerning audiosoftware and soundcards by inserting 'the jack-layer' in between (on linux//debian/ubuntu and osx). hopefully it helps in your situation as well. cheers roman On Fri, 2006-11-03 at 20:16 -0600, John Harrison wrote: > If I yank the M-audio Delta 1010LT card out of the machine, Pd runs > fine.
