Psycollider 3.2 ERROR: Server Failed To Start

[chiff82]

Hi guys

I'm pretty much of a newbie in regards o this program : I have been using Psycollider for only a month or two. During this time, besides the painful (yet fun) learning experience I hadn't had too many issues outside the learning curve.

I recently acquired an audio interface and suddenly I get an error when trying to boot the server. Whenever I run "s.boot;" I receive the following output":

SuperCollider 3 server ready..

I have looked on a couple of forums but none have solved my problem exactly.

I'm running the program on Windows XP.
My startup output is the following:

Does anyone have an idea of what the issue could be? Could anyone of you direct me to a thread which might address this?

Thank you very much for your time!

First thought is, try an upgrade to 3.3 alpha6. Don't be scared that it's alpha - it's no less stable than 3.2 and has a lot of improvements.

I'm no expert on portaudio and the windows audio system. You'll probably have better luck asking on the mailing list. If you don't want to receive Yet Another Mailing List, nabble.com is a nice web-forum style mirror that interacts with the e-mail list (posts on nabble appear as emails to subscribers, and replies by email show up in nabble too).
