Often example patches have a global volume control, near a box named "output". It's a level in dB (100 dB is full volume in PD most of the times).
It does help a lot if you know what the patch does. If you are trying to hear an oscillator at 0 Hz turning the output to 100 dB doen't help.
It's better if you pick a specific patch, try to understand what it does and come back here with a particular problem, so that people can help you better.

did you check the "compute audio" checkbox?

Hello. I have no backround in programming, so trying to getpast the audio test has been frustrating. I heard the test tones and the white noise in that test; I'm able to get the command prompt up (run C:pd/bin/pd.exe) as well as open up a new file from the main window. My ISP recognizes TCP/IP as a possible internet connection, so THAT appears to be turned on, though I'm "dial-up"; I keep reading and re-reading the manual and all relevant info. from other sites but nowhere can I find someone with a "simple example" to give a "wah-newbie" like me something to sink his teeth into. (If the examples in doc\2.control examples thru 5.reference are supposed to "sound", then what EXACT procedure do I need to follow to get that to happen? The same for the examples in the main manual, I get no sound generated from these examples either, though test tones work).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. My OS is WinXP.
