Javier García wrote: Sorry, what do you mean with alsaconf? http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man8/alsaconf.8.php Alsaconf is a simple shell script which tries to detect the sound cards on your system and writes a suitable configuration file for ALSA. It will try to guess what GNU/Linux distribution you're running, and will act accordingly to the standards of that distribution, if specific support is available. Alsaconf will write a modutils snippet which can be then used by modutils to load the correct parameters for your sound card. It's very useful as long as you have one soundcard. I recommend to start here. It sounds to me like you're still struggling with the basics of ALSA.

I dont have any idea about connecting the output of Pd to the input of another audio app that gives you some visual indication of a signal One thing more: when i open Pd, i push over the compute audio button (it becomes purple color). I open Media and i find default-MIDI in purple. If i select ALSA-MIDI the console shows this: ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory Pd: system call timed out I have supposed ALSA it not installed so I have write this: sudo apt-get install alsa and it says this (between other things): This is the most recent release of alsa-base.

Make sure that the sample rate of your audio system (software) is set to that of Pd (usually 44100 or 48000) and that it is talking to the soundcard. If other audio apps are working then this is probably ok. Can you get a visual indication of an audio signal (eg meterbridge) ? I dont know what you mean. Try connecting the output of Pd to the input of another audio app that gives you some visual indication of a signal, like a VU bar. If that lights up you have debugged, insofar as you know Pd is creating a signal. Any way i dont know exactly what i have to do with the Test to hear the wave. Just open it and select -40 for example?? Yes. Soon as you do that Pd should be sending audio.
