Returning to sonic-pi after long time away having issues with the latest beta version please help

Support, Help & Resources
1

Hi everyone hope you’re doing well and staying safe :slight_smile: as many of you may know I’m totally blind and I’ve been away for a long while. I just a few minutes ago tried to open up the latest beta version of Sonic Pi on macOS Big Sur on a 2019 MacBook Pro 30 2GB ram 8 core Intel processor 2.9 Gb processor speed 2 TB hard drive. VoiceOver told me it was busy for a while then I got the following error:
Apologies, a critical error occurred during startup:
GUI was unable to connect to the Ruby server.

Please consider reporting a bug at

Does anybody know what’s going on and how to fix this error? Thank you very much for all your help kind regards Trey.

Hey hey @soundwarrior,

A small side note: we prefer to track things like Sonic Pi booting issues all in one place over on GitHub - it makes them easier to manage! The forum here is useful for issues with Sonic Pi where folks are not sure how to do something, or Sonic Pi maybe does something unusual, but it still runs. If Sonic Pi doesn’t really run at all, that’s a critical issue that we need to track at the source repository.

Regarding the problem you’re having above, this is a known issue in the system that is still to be addressed, that is a result of our recent heavy changes introduced at the start of version 4. The key error message is in scsynth.log:

ERROR: Input sample rate is 48000, but output is 44100. Mismatched sample rates are not supported. To disable input, set the number of input channels to 0.

Sonic Pi on macOS is temporarily no longer attempting to handle mismatched input and output sample rates. As such, until we’re able to fix this in time for a future version 4 beta or final release, it’s necessary to use the audio and MIDI settings window in macOS to update both input and output sample rates to be the same.

There are details about how to change device sample rate at Set up audio devices in Audio MIDI Setup on Mac – Apple Support (AU) .

Once they’re the same, Sonic Pi should hopefully boot up properly!

Hi Ethan, thank you for your reply. I looked in audio midi setup as you suggested and both the input and output sample rates of the same. Wells can you advise please? Thank you very much

4

In that case, I’m guessing that the problem is that while the audio MIDI setup window may say that two of the devices on your system might have the same input and output sample rates, these devices may not be the same ones that Sonic Pi is selecting on startup - and hence the sample mismatch may remain, for the devices it does try to select.

It may require copying the following file: audio-settings.toml into your .sonic-pi/config folder and editing the line that says:

# sound_card_name = ""

By removing the # and inserting text that matches the name of a different sound device in between the quotes, perhaps something like this:

sound_card_name = "MacBook Pro"

(Assuming the ‘MacBook Pro Microphone’ and ‘MacBook Pro Speakers’ both have the same sample rate). Or, any other device name in between the quotes that will allow Sonic Pi to select both input and output device that matches the name.

hi thanks for your help think i fixed the problem :slight_smile:
