I've just finished making a rather large darts game patch and I'm trying to build it into an executable. I have successfully compiled the patch in the past, when the game had sound effects and crowd ambience, but this time around I have added commentary and need to build an executable again.

On startup I use a load bang to send a bunch of append messages to polybuffer, in order to load up audio required by a groove player. This works fine in the max patch but in the standalone (according to the max window) the audio isn't loaded into the buffer.

The weird thing is some of the elements are copied and pasted from the previous system (i.e. crowd and sound effects) yet they don't work when compiled into the new patch. I'm wondering if I have too much going on in my patch and it's overloading the processor (or something similar, I'm not entirely clued up on processor issues).

My audio is all saved in the Max media folder and loaded into the polybuffer through an 'append "[filename].wav"' message which works fine in the non-standalone max patch. When building the application, I'm including every audio file individually and I have painstakingly gone through this 3 or 4 times to ensure there are no typos, etc.

If anyone could possibly tell me where I'm going wrong or suggest an alternative I would greatly appreciate it.

Audio in standalone won't load into polybuffer, works fine in patch.
