I am using PD on OSX, and I use JackOSX for anything that requires
reliability. So try that, or try setting the delay in the "Audio
Settings" dialog to a larger number. This increases the latency, and
should lessen the chance of dropouts. I think the problem is that PD
doesn't use the native OSX Core Audio drivers, but rather a set of
Portaudio drivers. I've had less than ideal luck using Portaudio on OSX
for anything, so my inclination is to see the problem there.
best,

hello joseph
i am not a mac user myself, but a student mate of mine had a similar
problem with any version of pd (we tried about 4 different versions).
However, we couldn't find any setting to avoid these glitches (these
glitches have been also very regular, like: 'zlic ----- zlic-----zlic',
like in your case). even setting the samplerate to 48000Hz didn't help,
though that was mentioned in some mails before. also on her computer
other applications ran fine, only pd was causing trouble. then we tried
to run pd over jack and all troubles are gone. there is even a
precompiled osx-binary of jack and an appropriate gui available, which
makes the installing very easy: http://www.jackosx.com/
i hope that this will be a help also for you....

Greetings everyone,
Thank you for your consideration in my problems getting going with Pd. I am
currently running Pd version 0.40-2 for Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC & Intel). On this
computer, I have Mac OS X 10.4.8 running on a 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4 with 1 GB of RAM.
I am using my built-in audio drivers.
When I try to run the audio test or any other audio-based patch, I get terrible glitches.
Usually, they are spaced evenly in a 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 rhythm (only occasionally breaking
that rhythm before settling back). No matter what I set the delay to, I get these
glitches in the sound. No other audio program (like Ableton Live) is having any issues
with the on-board sound card I am not running any other programs at the time of Pd. I
can reproduce this issue faithfully through several releases back, even with special
"extended" compiles.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can continue troubleshooting or
correct this problem? Thank you kindly!
Best wishes,
Joseph Wilk
