[PD] Audio I/O stuck, win2kpro

[marius schebella]

if the driver is in use by another application, u should receive an error-message saying so.
maybe the audiobuffers are to small.

  Hi,

   

  I'm having the dreaded "audio I/O stuck" problem for the first time. I've searched the archives to try to find a quick fix, but it seems to be a recurring problem with no obvious solution. Is that the case?

   

  I've got the problem running on two machines: my production machine (which has a hammerfall9652, no problem until today) and a brand new Compaq laptop. The problem happens in both cases.

   

  On the production machine, I've added some -path and -lib flags to my the .bat file that launches pd. I'm not quite sure yet which external or library is actually causing the problem (it may take a while to troubleshoot, having to restart each time.) After the audio gets stuck, even if I restart, just launching pd.exe on its own gets "audio I/O stuck", which I don't understand.

   

  What does I/O stuck mean? Does that mean the drivers are hogged by some other application? Or do I have a bogus 'lock' file somewhere that makes windows think the driver is in use?

   

  Which raises the question: is there a way to explicitly free the driver right before launching pd? 

   

  Thanks!
