Try the new MacOS X installer:

its based on pd-0.37 so it handles audio devices much better, in the

Dear list:

Sorry for this beginners stuff.

I am trying to get sound from A. Linsays Pd extended version for Macos
X.2 with a M-Audio Delta 1010 LT card.

When I launch Pd I get the following:

Last login: Mon Oct 6 14:47:37 on console Welcome to Darwin! /Applications/Pd.command; exit [Rolando-Cori-s-Computer:~] rcori% /Applications/Pd.command; exit reading startup file: /Users/rcori/.pdrc could not open midi output device number 1: Invalid device ID. using default input device number: 0 using default output device number: 8 nchan 2, flags 3, bufs 8, framesperbuf 256 Could not create output format converter: error = 0x666D743F = 'fmt?' Error number -10000 occured opening portaudio stream Error message: Host error. realtime setting failed because not root

Tiping pd -listdev I get the following:
