Thanks, but perhaps i should have been more clear... even in Pd's audio test patch, when set to "tone" there is no sound, but there is when set to "noise".  Audio input is working fine.

vcf~ doesn't even work in it's own help patch, likewise for osc~. it's not a patching problem, but thanks for your help.

What frequency is the osc~ set to?  Is it out of the range of
hearing?  If you didn't give it a creation argument and you don't
send it a frequency via its inlet you end up (I think) with a freq of
0.  (If this is the case, for the love of Benji, turn down your
speakers before correcting the problem:)

vcf~, being a filter, won't give you anything unless you're feeding
it a signal.
