As a side project, I'm making a small app for a friend to use in a biofeedback therapy device. We need to listen to sine wave emitted by an oscillator on the device and use changes in the frequency to drive a jitter animation. This way the user gets audio feedback (pitch of the oscillator) and visual feedback (speed of jitter animation) about what the device is measuring.

To my knowledge the tool for this job is [sigmund~]. I got sigmund~ 64-bit from 

I built my patch, it all works happily. I built my standalone. It all works happily. I sent my standalone to my collaborator, and we are getting errors with [sigmund~]. The object is red in the patch, and the Max Window reports "method force check called on invalid object" over and over again.

I am using a Surface Pro 4. My collaborator is using a Surface Go. Both are running Windows 10. They have pretty similar specs. The sigmund~.mxe64

I'm not sure what to do here. Does anybody have any suggestions? Is there a different, stock Max object I could use? I've looked at [pitchshift~] and [retune~]. Both of these are cool objects that do way more than I need, and don't seem to have the specific functionality I'm looking for: listen for a sine wave and report the frequency.

Does Sigmund~ have additional dependencies I'm not aware of? Is there a way to confirm this? Is there some additional configuration of the standalone that is required? (I uninstalled Max from my Surface Pro 4 and the standalone still runs just fine). What hardware specs of the Surface Go should I look at the confirm compatibility?

I'm grasping at straws here, because as far as I can tell this ought to work. Thank you for any input.

I would try [retune~ @pitchdetection 1] - this one is from cycling74 and might give you results just as good as sigmund~, depending on your application.

Unfortunately I need to detect the frequency of a sine wave signal up to 6Khz. Retune~ can determine the fundamental pitch of complex tones the output will only go up to 1khz.

The good news is I posted an issue on github and Volker replied with a hint.

Sigmund~ requires the 2013 C++ Redistributable. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2013-vc-120

It does not work with the most recent C++ redistributable, but with the 2013 version all is swell. :)

I will also make a separate post about this so it can come up more clearly in searches.

Here another option with just built-in objects (zerox~), which might work well if you know that your input signal is kind of a sine wave.
