I think I saw a post that whatever problem was with AU DLS Synth under Snow Leopard was fixed in 5.08.

In my system, midi (or at least output to the DLS Synth) stops working as soon as I insert an audio object in the patch:

I am running OSX 10.6.1 on a 2.33 dual core Macbook and maxmsp 5.08

au-dls-synth-maxmsp-5-08-and-snow-leopard

Works fine here, running the exact same config. Are you using a specific sound card?

no, just what the laptop comes with. 
did you try my patch?

of course I tried the patch... but still, I can't reproduce...

thank you for your support, Emmanuel

I rebember in the old version you had to 

make a trip first to the Midi setup dialog and assign letters to ports, but now this doesn't seem to count anymore? No matter what letter I assign, even none, I'm still getting sound off of the internal synth... Is this normal?

if the I/O buffer suze in the DSP Status window is over 1024 then MIDI stops working. And it's not osx 10.6 related, same thing happens in 10.5

I'm running a G4 ppc 1.5ghz Max/MSP 5.1.1 O.S. X 10.5.8 and I've been dealing with this same problem for at least three weeks now and it's been driving me crazy and max isn't like standard apps where you can trash the preferences, this thread defiantly helped me out in figure out the problem even though there is no solution posted I know the problem, anyone please post the solution if you know one, i asked a few people I worked with but most don't deal with MIDI in Max lol.... makes me feel like a dinosaur, but actually just lets me know how deep Max/Msp is you can swim on one side of the pool and never go to the other end to check the depth.

Doesn't work for me either... this is a very weird bug. Why we can not play a MIDI note after all this great and advanced soft improvements?

I am having the same problem for months now, but have not tried to solve it until now.. I see I have company..

Is this something that will be fixed ? I don't use MIDI sounds often, but it is handy at times..

O.k. here's an update to the solution that's been working pretty consistently for me, trash the Max/Msp audio preferences and throwing away preference folders from older versions won't hurt either.

~user/library/preferences/Max 5 Preferences Folder/audioprefs.txt/CoreAudio@Built-in Aud.txt

the two preferences at the end are the one's to delete to get the au player working again.

you guys let me know if it works for you also.

I can't get this to fix, no matter how many threads I read with solutions.

One of my issues is that the files that people are saying are best to delete, are not even within my preferences folder. I believe that this would make the situation not even occur, but my mental logic to these kinds of situations has been known to be off.

All works fine here - Max 5.1.3 , OS 10.5.8, 1.42GHz G4

Remember to stay up to date . . . Even though I'm not with my machine ;-}

What version of Max and OS?

Thanks, I had just found a thread saying that if you are running Mac OS X 10.6 or higher (Snow Leopard), than you need Max Msp 5.08 or higher to use AU DLS Synth. Which, I just realized it says at the top of this thread. I appreciate your help.
