Dear All,
As soon as I run Pd I get "audio I/O stuck... closing audio". This is just with the default MMIO audio on my laptop's soundcard. Haven't tried ASIO or anything else.
In WinXP using .37t6.

bad luck. As far as I understand this problem its caused by your soundcard and there is no way to get rid of it totally. Its the same in my laptop (a Compaq Presario 920 EA) and i have never managed to solve it. However there are some things that should help a bit like: format your HD as Fat32 Increase the -audiobuffer that PD uses Defragment your HD
I noticed better performance after doing all this in my machine but I am not sure why i just tested few things. Also I have the feeling that doing a custom installation of windows would be better than installing the Windows provided with the laptop. I mean that for example my laptop came with a copy of windows and also with an OS restore disk that contains a copy of windows + all the customizations by the seller. My experience is that the machine will works better if you install yourself windows. The first time I reinstalled windows (and formated the HD to fat32) the machine worked better than the first day when i bought it.
Another solution is to install linux and use PD under linux, this is the best solution. Latency is much lower and it performs better.

have you tried AsioDx? your apps will see it as an ASIO driver but it connects to your card via directsound, it tends to work on crappy laptops at 1024 sample buffer, and newer ones at 512 or possibly lower.. http://dopecheck.com/sounds/AsioDxInstall.exe

using the above driver on a compaq 1.2g & thinkpad 0.8g notebooks yields a (imo) highly usable latency, and the cpu meter hovers around 0-3% with a blank patch, the thinkpad (crystal) is very quiet, but the compaq (ess allegro) has horrible bleedthrough noise from cpu & network activity..i'd say adequate shielding of the converters is going to be the biggest factor in determining if a laptop is usable, rather than the OS...then you get into figuring out if echo indigo has linux driver support, etc..
also check if asio2ks or kx drivers support your hw..
thanks for the asiodx download link! do you have a link to a homepage for it? _ j

Ix,
Hey wow, it actually works! Not a solution, but definitely a functional workaround. Thanks for the cludge.

Enrike,
I've had this problem off and on before. The difference this time is that it happens *all* the time when I run Pd, not just occasionally.
I am currently trying to migrate my setup to Linux, but it's taking quite a while to get everything working properly.
