#1

I just installed 3.3.1 onto a pc and am getting a runtime error just like many others.

Intel Celeron CPU J1900 @ 1.99 GHz
4 GB RAM
64 bit operating system
500 GB HD, 344 GB free
Realtek High Definition Audio

Runtime Error: [buffer 0, line 87] - SonicPi::Lang::Core::TimingError
Thread death ±-> :live_loop_hihat
Timing Exception: thread got too far behind time

Can you show the code you are using which give this error?

#3

One thing to be aware of is how energy savings preferences can interfere with the real time capabilities of your system.

Take a look at this post for a bit more info: Weird distorted noises in playback, not present in recordings - #2 by samaaron

Update…

Uninstalled 3.3.1 (64 bit)
Installed 3.1.0 (32 bit)

Sonic Pi ran longer without getting the runtime error, but it still happened.

#5

Energy settings are set to high performance. No energy savings used at all… zero.

I haven’t tried ASIO4ALL yet. That’s a task for tomorrow.

Hi @tjvigil66 - as mentioned, it would be helpful to see an example of the code copied here that causes the problem - the smallest example that does so. (Remember to use three backticks ``` on lines either side of the code to give it nice highlighting :slightly_smiling_face:)
