I made a very simple .pd, and no sound comes out.
What am I missing?
It looks like you are looking for [osc~]. It expects a frequency and outputs sine wave with given frequency as audio signal. This signal sent to [dac~] will actually create an audible sound.
Be also careful not to confuse message boxes and object boxes. [sin~( is a message box and just sends a message 'sin~' when it receives something.
Also, [440] simply holds the number '440'. For this object to output anything at all, you'd have to send a 'bang' message to it. Probably the simpler approach would be to write '440' into a message box, since message boxes can clicked and they output their content when clicked.
So, something like this would generate sound:
[440( | [osc~] | [dac~]
and make sure to click [440( with the mouse, once you patched this.
Alternatively, you could simple do this, since [osc~] takes an argument:
[osc~ 440] | [dac~ ]
NOTE: Be careful with volume, when you connect sound generators to [dac~] directly.
