It seems that the "resynching audio" problem is not confined to the SB
Live driver. I installed PD under W98 on my notebook that has an ESS sound card and had the same problem. I tried recompiling PD using the included makefile and nmake from Microsoft Visual Studio 5. I got errors when it tried to compile. How should I re-compile? Finally, is there a way in PD to read the parallel and serial ports? I'm trying to find an easier and quicker development tool to do interactive installations. Right now I develop my work in C/C++. I mostly use the parallel port for interactive devices, i.e. sonar sensors. I then play wav files in synch with a laser disc in response to input. The laser disc player is attached to the serial port and I've talked to it using PD. I need to read-back from the serial port to see if the laser disc has completed its code.
