Hello. I have no backround in programming, so trying to get
past 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.
did you check the "compute audio" checkbox?

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.

hi, not all of the examples produce sound, but some do (3.audio examples do). after you open a patch, you have to turn dsp (signal processing) on. this is like "start rendering". this is done by clicking on the "dsp 1" message - if there is one, or in the main window "compute audio" or via keyboard shortcut or via taskbar audio - on. sound is produced and sent to your soundcard through the dac~ object. in many examples you will also have to turn up the volume. for example in 08.phase.mod. this is done by dragging the numberbox with the mouse to a value like 90 (this is dB). and then, finally, you have to set some values to hear sound. in 08.phase.mod you have to set the values of the carrier frequency to at least 40-50 (Hz) or far more up. if you change other values you hopefully will hear a difference in the output... sme.
