This message means that PD was not able to open the audio device. In my experience this has always been because another process had the audio device open. Perhaps your running some kind of virtual mixer software that brokers access to the audio device? (like Jack?)
try quiting everything in your system tray and see if that makes any difference...
Good luck.

Hi there, Im new to pd and experiencing some teething problems... If anyone has the time could they possibly help me out? Im getting a strange error message when running pd.(version 0.37.0 on Windows 2000) Every time I open the program, I get the following error within three to five minutes;
"audio i/o stuck...closing audio"
This happens regardless of what patch I have open - infact it even happens when I have no patches open and when pd is the only application running on my machine. I've checked the general audio i/o configuration at it appears to be in order and working fine for all audio apps except pd....
anyone???
Thanks
