For some strange reason, i get this error when turning audio on with the window:

Any suggestions - other than re-installing Max, which I suppose ought to work.

Even the sfplay~ helpful doesn't work (and AudioTester)

error-dac-vector-size-mismatch

Is it a new error - or has max never worked? sounds like a sound card driver error rather than a max error.

I've been running Max fine for several months.

I've put Max 4.6 on here now and that seems to work okay, so I guess upgrading might avoid this error.

Does anyone know what it was from though?

basically, i need FTM which I can't get running on Max 4.6 so if anyone has any ideas on the mismatch error that would be great

This is probably way to obvious, but I'll throw it in anyway in case you 

haven't tried already: Have you tried changing to another audio driver 

in DSP Status, then selecting the one you are using again, reset signal 

vector sizes and turn on audio again? I sometimes experience these 

settings to be screwed up if I have been crashing Max.

Has sorted the problem. basically, somehow the signal vector length had gotten set to zero and remained so, even when I re-installed.

I set it back to 64. Anyone know a suggested value for this?

Glad I could help! I tend to use 256 or 512 for io vector size and 64 

for signal processing. It is a good idea to keep them a power of two, as 

many sound cards won't support vector sizes that are not power of two.

i had the same problem on max 5, but that sorted it out thanks!!!

Error: dac~ vector size mismatch
