I have a patch i'm running on a Macbook Air, using a new RME UCX sound card running USB. Seems I can't get normal audio, sounds distorted, full of dropouts, when i get any audio at all. After fiddling around with many settings (buffer size etc.) I came to find out that the ONLY way I can reliably get clean audio is by turning off then back on the ezadc~. I can repeatably get good audio this way. So I thought, fine, I'll hit the ezadc with start/stop/start when the patch loads. Should work, but nope. I found that turning the ezadc on/off any way other than by clicking directly on it does not work. Sending a 1/0/1 or start/stop/start, max audio processing does turn off and on, but I only am able to get good audio output if I manually click on the ezadc icon. I also tried the adc~ instead of ezadc~. Doesn't work (I guess since then there is no icon to directly click on (??!!)). is this weird or what? i need to have the audio running without manual intervention though. ANY ideas most welcome.

I've had an issue similar to this before as well. Audio would only work if I opened the adstatus window and closed it again. Not exactly what you're experiencing but maybe related. To fix my problem, I had the patch send the "open" message to the ezdac~ with loadmess, then a 1000 milisecond delay to "close" the window. Try that?

Yes, tried that, in my case it would only work if I manually clicked it. Today that doesn't even work. I just found out that the real problem is there is a buffir~ oject in a different subjpatch that is running the cpu up to 100%! the same patch works fine on my pc but Mac version is not cpu-friendly.
