I recently downloaded the portable app version of Sonic Pi for Windows 10 and installed it to a flash drive I have, but the program produces no sound when tested with any of the tutorial loops. Note that this is a fresh install, aside from setting the program to dark mode I haven’t modified the settings at all (and it didn’t work in light mode either).

Most curiously, the volume mixer shows sound _is_ playing, and corresponds to the loop, as you can see here:

 ![Sound](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sonic_pi/original/2X/e/e02eca14a0ce8c96bd64ec4f03f106f0903e9353.png)

.wav files can also be recorded, and their length matches the correct length of the recording, but again, there is no sound.

The logs show no errors that I can find:

debug.log is empty

I’m at a complete loss here, which is why I’m asking at all. Is there something I’m missing? Is it just problems with the portable app? The fact that the volume mixer shows an output when there is no audible sound especially confuses me.

The only similarities I can find are with [this thread](https://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/no-midi-input-on-windows10/4416), as my program also doesn’t have any MIDI input, but seeing as it’s MIDI _input_ and not _output_, I don’t think it’s the cause.

Hi,

Maybe there is another software avoiding spi to be heard. Close your Steam Client Bootstrapper and test.

Unfortunately even after closing Steam, Epic, any other launchers, and even Chrome, the problem remains.

Is there any history of the program conflicting with antivirus software like Avira? I know that’s rarely ever the case nowadays, and I don’t know why it would only affect sound but just to be sure…

Don’t know but try with a audio cable 🙂

> I dont know much about Raspi, but I had a similar issue on my Macbook. I found out that the bluethooth headphones had different sample rates for input and output, and sonic pi disliked that (as you might see in the log file). When I connected them after I started sonic pi it worked. Another solution was setting another input source in the audio conf of the system, which matched the output sample rate.

Well, that certainly seems to be it; it’s the bluetooth headphones. I swapped out the input on scsynth from the headset to the built-in stereo mixer and it works perfectly now.

Cheers 🙂

@wro - not sure. Some more information that might potentially be helpful is details from the Sonic Pi log files. You can find these at C:\Users\[you]\.sonic-pi\log.

Having said that, issues like this are best dealt with on [the GitHub issues page](https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/issues) as it’s easier to keep things like that all in one place.  
You can search the existing GitHub issues for words similar to your problem (like ‘no sound’ or bluetooth etc, (or also filtering by any issues that have ‘Windows’ labels).  
One particular part of the logs that might provide useful clues or error messages to search by is either `scsynth.log` or `server-errors.log`.

If nothing relevant seems to come up in the existing issues on GitHub after a reasonable search, then you could go ahead and create a new issue there for us to try to help you (and attach details from Sonic Pi’s log files).

Show us the audio panel parameters please  
You have to set your Bluetooth speakers to be used by spi.
