Dante

So Max has stopped working with my audio interface. The input just goes straight to output, and not through the maxpatch.

OS is windows 10, and a/i is roland duo capture. I've re-re-read the Reference and imagine this is a problem with my computers audio settings, I have tried numerous settings, reinstalled the a/i driver, reinstalled MAx and still nothing. Max only picks up the input when I use directsound and Asio, but then i have an echo on the input.

Before the problem started I was messing around with settings like: buffer size and made duo capture default the default in/out in my control panel.

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone has to offer, I imagine it is a very simple explanation, but because I have a performance later this week I am getting blinded by stress.

Max will not route input to output if You don't link audio objects to do so.

So probably Hardware Settings for the Sound Card have

Either dedicated Control Panel of Your Interface,

ow Windows Sound Control Panel.


I was hoping you were correct, (because I did have direct monitoring set to stereo on the ai) But when i switched it off (properly) I get no difference.

Maybe it's worth noting that I usually have a cpu % of less that 10% and when I switch driver to Asio or Duo Capture I'm getting 30% - 50%.

I can still load a groove~ and get 1 playback (no loop) , but any audio input is skipped (such as a Max FX, compressor, Msp data) or goes through to the ai output clean.

Could it be that You are having several Patches open ?

Max shouldn't use so much cpu for 1 groove~ object.

Try this simple patch, just having adc~ and switch to dac~

Using some help files, tutorials etc ?

to test max I/O


I have tried your patch and other small patches and closed all things, but no difference. My Cpu being high seems weird to me because when i switch to directsound' it goes back down to the reasonable 6-10%.

Ok so I was playing around with the signal vector for ai and it started working!

I don't remember messing with it initially, but it was set at 2, which apparently doesnt work. It works upwards of 32. (nothing below) My I/o vector size can only be 288.

This is way beyond me, so I'm not sure if this is typical Vector size behavior, but i'm glad its working. Thanks again Source Audio for your help.
