Hi,

Sorry, v3.1 is no longer supported. Please try v3.2 and let us know if you’re still having issues :slight_smile:

@jianghu: See Could not boot Sonic Pi Server · Issue #2153 · sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi · GitHub
In particular, the comment:

There is a pending issue for non-ASCII characters in audio device names. supercollider/supercollider#4479

That may well be the problem you are experiencing.

Hi, I m having the same issue after dl and install yesterday - I can’t see any issues with ASCII characters mentioned above. Running

  • Sonic Pi version: 3.2.0

  • OS: Windows 10 Version 1909

If helpful I can post my Boot Error Report here?

Thx in advance :pray:

Simon

Sorry you’re having issues! Yes, a copy of the log files would be most useful.

Thanks - all as below: If you need me to separate details for ease of reading please let me know - thanks

Hi, your issue is with SuperCollider, the underlying sound synthesis engine.

For some reason it is not able to find your default system sound card.

Could you try setting your sound card to something different in the Windows preferences and try booting again?

I’ve seen this error once before with a system that didn’t have headphones plugged in. Beats me why that stopped the sound driver from being recognised, but plugging headphones in apparently fixed things in that specific case.

Hi Sam, I may not have done this exactly as needed, however:

I normally use Komplete Audio AISO driver, DAW connected via USB
Changed to Realtek HD which is the default in the laptop = same issue
Unplugged DAW altogether and also tried with headphones connected = same issue

It may be that I have not done exactly what was needed so if that is the case, please do say!

Thanks

s

Sorry, there’s not much more I can say. I would check your scsynth.log every time you try a new audio setting.

Another thing you can try is to download the vanilla supercollider app and see if you can boot a server from their IDE. If you can’t then it’s definitely an issue with supercollider and your system. If you can, then that’s likely to be something we can fix in Sonic Pi.

Hi Sam, I tried two separate versions of Supercollider and no joy so looks like the issues is between that and my laptop.

Shame but never mind, will try again in a few months

Cheers
S

Hi, if you have the energy, I think it would be useful to discuss these issues directly with the supercollider people. If they can fix things then Sonic Pi will automatically inherit those fixes too…

No (Jeff) you’re not alone :slight_smile:
I met the same issue on my familial windows 10 version and still haven’t found a solution.

Maybe have à look to the rate sampling. i will test soon .

Hi Sam, I went onto the Supercollider forums and they gave me some tips - by adding in some specific settings for the sound drivers in the startup file I was able to create a server. However, even with that running I could not get Sonic Pi to load.

I’ve added the log from supcollider and the latest from Sonic Pi in case that can help shed any further light on it

Thanks

Hello all,
I spotted Sonic Pi today and thought I’d try it. Windows 10, 1909, but neither MSI nor Portable install works. Boot fails. Have seen at least 5 different Issues in the repo, with some going back to March 2020.

Am I out on a limb here, with some unique black magic that is hampering my Windows install, or is there a more sinister House Elf affecting all Windows 10 installs of 3.2.2?

Happy to contribute boot logs and conversation on an appropriate boot problem Issue in the git repo - please tell me which one!

Thx

hi

google is your friend (or not)

Would you please tell us if you use an audio interface or maybe jackd ?

Just want to leave this here if someone runs into this again. I had this same problem and after looking at the Windows device manager I noticed I had “AMD High Definition Audio Device” that didn’t install correctly? I’m not exactly sure what happened to but I’ve had audio issues for a couple of weeks after a driver update for that device but going back to the previous version didn’t fix it so I gave up. Today I started troubleshooting Sonic Pi and I tried disabling the device but that didn’t fix it so I just uninstalled all the audio devices and drivers and let Windows reinstall them. Sonic Pi works now.

TL;DR Faulty audio driver, uninstalled all audio devices and drivers using the device manager then let windows update reinstall them.
