I've been running Chuck on a MacPro with a Cinema Display, and I notice that the audio device switching isn't handled well by either the hardware/OS, or other audio apps. Often I have to diddle around with the Sound Preferences output to get Amadeus or Reaper to play to my headphones, or the display audio, instead of the internal speaker. So perhaps this has something to do with it.

I can't promise this will help, but I'm a fan of running Rogue Amoeba's free Sound Source app on OS X which makes selecting the machine's audio output really quick and simple: http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/ (bottom of page) It overrides the Mac's automatic device switching so just may be a fix. I don't know if it works on Lion - it's a bit old - but it functions great on Snow Leopard. Anthony.

This sounds prommising. If the sollution is in that direction then a alternative might be to call ChucK with "chuck --dac n", where "n" corresponds to the number of the desired output as listed by "chuck --probe". Personally I would suspect that if the default device is somehow set wrong then more programs should have issues with sound but you never know. Yours, Kas.

Thanks both of you for your help. With --probe returning this:

Hmmmm. I think that on other OS's I have had nothing but bad luck with listed devices that only had outputs or only inputs. What if you try using that "out only" device while asking ChucK for 0 input channels (default is 2)? I'd also be curious about those Soundflower virtual devices and how far those might get you. As a last suggestion you could try any and all of these things while adding the "--verbose" flag. That should make ChucK report on more of the stuff it's trying and any issues it might encounter. It's worth a shot. I'm curious whether -for example- there isn't some miscomunication between ChucK and the drivers going on about stuff like bitrate and depth. That kind of thing happens when API standards are changed. I'm convinced there is some great secret den of vice somewhere where all API maintainers get together to use crack and brag about how subtle their tricks are ;-). Yours, Kas.

Well, I don't. It's cool that you have sound, but some things were going quite wrong here. Why didn't it simply default to the most standard stereo in and out, for example. Why did it claim to allocate buffers after trying a device, then start running and only -apparently- discover after the session that it didn't have a stream? It also looks like you have a fairly straightforward system, with the maker of the OS also being the hardware builder, IMHO it should simply be able to set a sensible default for what device to use; it's not like you build your own computer with 4 soundcards then installed a exotic version of Linux for some unusual application (that should also work, but then we can expect that we need to help set what we would like to use). Oh, well, it works now. Happy ChucKing! Kas.

New subject: ChucK w/Lion and many audio devices, was: SUCCESS! Re: Most recent Chuck for Lion?

Hi all- Poking around a bit and discovered the following: My "default devices" are:

...

[chuck]: ------( chuck -- dac6 )--------------- [chuck]: device name = "Apple Inc.: Display Audio" [chuck]: probe [success] ... [chuck]: # output channels = 2 [chuck]: # input channels = 1 [chuck]: # duplex Channels = 1 [chuck]: default output = NO [chuck]: default input = YES [chuck]: natively supported data formats: [chuck]: 32-bit float [chuck]: supported sample rates: [chuck]: 44100 Hz [chuck]: 48000 Hz

and

...

[chuck]: ------( chuck -- dac2 )--------------- [chuck]: device name = "Apple Inc.: Built-in Output" [chuck]: probe [success] ... [chuck]: # output channels = 2 [chuck]: # input channels = 0 [chuck]: # duplex Channels = 0 [chuck]: default output = YES [chuck]: default input = NO [chuck]: natively supported data formats: [chuck]: 32-bit float [chuck]: supported sample rates: [chuck]: 44100 Hz [chuck]: 48000 Hz [chuck]: 88200 Hz [chuck]: 96000 Hz

plus, I built an aggregate device which uses the default output, plus another input that has 2 channels:

...

[chuck]: ------( chuck -- dac9 )--------------- [chuck]: device name = "Apple, Inc.: My Agg Device" [chuck]: probe [success] ... [chuck]: # output channels = 2 [chuck]: # input channels = 2 [chuck]: # duplex Channels = 2 [chuck]: default output = NO [chuck]: default input = NO [chuck]: natively supported data formats: [chuck]: 32-bit float [chuck]: supported sample rates: [chuck]: 44100 Hz [chuck]: 48000 Hz [chuck]: 88200 Hz [chuck]: 96000 Hz

So I can ask for this and get sound out of the left channel:

...

etla:/Volumes/Namring/Documents/ChucK$ chuck --in1 --out1 foo.ck

But when I try my aggregate device I get no sound:

...

So, with a manual request for my default devices, ChucK seems to want to tell me about it's difficulty with "device (1), " whatever that may be. If I go back to my dac9 aggregate device, it seems to play "foo.ck" (ie the shred runs to completion in about 2 seconds), but I hear no sound. Amadeus, for example, is perfectly happy playing back using my aggregate device. I'm gonna start looking at the source, but if someone has a bright idea, please let me know! Thanks, Charles

New subject: ChucK w/Lion and many audio devices, was: SUCCESS! Re: Most recent Chuck for Lion?

Hey Charles, The special Lion build of chuck actually has an off-by-one error when enumerating available audio devices via chuck --probe. So in the --probe output below, basically dac0 should be dac1, dac1 should be dac2, etc -- it should start counting at 1 instead of 0. This has been fixed in SVN, but an update to the special Lion build hasn't been issued yet. I would suspect everything you are trying to do should work if you take that into account. I don't believe there are any intrinsic issues with non-default devices, aggregate devices, or using different devices for input/output, but issues do seem to show up here and there. spencer On Sun, Mar 4, 2012 at 12:49 PM, Charles Turner wrote:

The special Lion build of chuck actually has an off-by-one error when enumerating available audio devices via chuck --probe.

Hi Spencer- Yes. If in the current release the dac/adc indexes are increased by 1, everything works fine, even the 1-2 connection. I compiled and ran the recent SVN and it seems to crash at the end of a shred with a bus error. This didn't happen with the March 23rd version. I understand it's the SVN, and there are no guarantees that the code there isn't broken. ;-) Thanks, Charles

Oh, touché! But, alas, I only know the delicious meat by name and not by taste. Judging by the name "ChuGins," I surmise that they must comprise an AWESOME new feature of the mini. My apologies if this amounts to directly addressing the man behind the curtain, however, this feature presented itself in a beta version touted to be compatible with a certain pesky, leonine new operating system and released in the wild on the chuck users list in a previous thread. I only ask because I lack the time at work to reverse engineer it. ;) Although I feel some user stories forming in my brain… like kittens spawning in the savanna...

Wow, Spencer! This stuff is really, really cool! Very ChucKian also, of course. Thank you for sharing. The last time I pulled SVN was to try out the FileIO stuff before it was ready for primetime. I'm definitely going to be pulling again to get my feet wet with these exciting new features. Do you have any indication how close you are to a release?

I concur. I knew, but it was hush-hush. Personally I respect the choices made but I'm happen it's Open now. IMHO ChuGins are a great thing, offering a new coherent way for users of ChucK to share with each other and colaborate. The price is a bit of C++ but not so much and a knowledge of ChucK syntax combined with some tactical copy - pasting will get you 90% there. So; making these is a realistic option for the daring, using them should be as easy as using the standard UGens. It is my hope that we'll together find a way of distributing these and -perhaps most importantly- documenting them. As I see it it is really a very nice design with high potential to grow into a great colaborative phenomenon, for providing a context to conduct and present research in and for enjoying some new sounds. Hopefully at the same time :-). Yours, Kas.

To me that implies that with some hickups it is opening at least a output, though it's not so clear where the "device (1)" is coming from here as previously only 0 and 2 were mentioned. yet, later;

RtApiCore::closeStream(): no open stream to close!

That's just plain weird when above it said it was allocating buffers after trying a device. Those layers don't seem to be communicating as they should. "BUG", I say, but that doesn't do you much good when you want fun sounds right now.

They've updated the compatibility range to include 10.7.3, which isn't the case for other items on the page.
