Look at the output of
pd -asio -listdev
and run
pd -asio -sounddev x -inchannels y -outchannels z
(x, y and z are a single number)

btw. please turn off html for emails

good luck

hi,
seem to be having some dificulty specifying multiple input and output
channels in the startup arguments.
pd -listdev gives something like (this is from memory)

Audio Input #1: Creative Soundblaster
Audio Input #2: M-Audio Delta 1010 Multichannel
Audio Input #3: M-Audio Delta 1010 1/2
Audio Input #4: M-Audio Delta 1010 3/4
Audio Input #5: M-Audio Delta 1010 5/6
Audio Input #6: M-Audio Delta 1010 7/8
Audio Input #7: M-Audio Delta 1010 Mon Mixer
Audio Input #8: M-Audio Delta 1010 SPDIF

(The outputs are the same...)
clearly, I want to be using the Delta 1010.

for some reason, specifying pd.exe -asio -inchannels 3,4,5,6 -outchannels
3,4,5,6
means pd complains about illegal channel number, then takes a long time to
register the quit command.

so I try:
pd.exe -asio -inchannels 2 -outchannels 2

same thing.  In fact, if I try specifying channel numbers, it complains.  I
can get the Delta 1010 to work only by not specifying any channel numbers,
and altering windows' default device to be Delta 1010.  it works, but only 1
stereo pair.

Any idea how to get multichannel I/O working??

cheers,
M
