Hi,
I just downloaded Pd ver 0.25 for Windows NT 4.0, and tried to run the test audio and MIDI patch. There seems to be no problem with the MIDI, but I get no audio at all. Upon loading, Pd gives the message:
waveOutOpen device: The specified device is already in use. Wait until it is free, and then try again.
Looking through the list archives, I saw something about using the -soundoutdev flag in this situation, but trying out various numbers for x in -soundoutdev x did not help, although it did change the message to other things like "out of range" device numbers. I also played around with the audio buffer, but this did not change anything either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Lawrence

Mhmm, this looks to me as if another program (sound editor or the like) uses the audio output device .. but then I don't have any idea of Windows specifics .. just a guess, maybe someone else knows better.
