Sonic pi and windows 10 issues

alpheratz · August 24, 2019, 2:44pm

Hello

Sonic pi ceased to work somewhere in June following a windows 10 update.

Did anybody find a workaround solution ?

Thanks

Hi there,

Sonic Pi has been working fine for me on Windows 10 despite installing all the recent updates. Could it be possible to let us know what issue you’re seeing? One thing that would really help is to share the contents of the log files in ~/.sonic-pi/log (where ~ means the location of your ‘home’ directory on your Windows machine).

Hi there,

yes, it certainly does look like a SuperCollider error. Unfortunately there’s not much I can do other than point you at their issues page to share the issue with them directly:

One thing you could do is try their latest beta release (3.10.3-rc1) and see if you can boot the server there:

If that works, then things should be fixed with the next release of Sonic Pi which I am planning to ship with this latest version of SuperCollider.

samaaron · August 24, 2019, 3:53pm

You could also try to change the default audio input and output settings in Windows to a different sound card and then try booting Sonic Pi.

alpheratz · August 24, 2019, 3:55pm

Ok, i 'll try

I have installed the RC1 one of SC, but do I have to kill the older version of SC? I cannot locate it, anyway

samaaron · August 24, 2019, 7:46pm

SuperCollider is a totally separate and independent app when you install it yourself. You need to start it like a normal app (from the start menu or the shortcut). The version of SuperCollider included in Sonic Pi is bundled with Sonic Pi itself and therefore totally independent and will not collide

Hi there!
After a while i tried to dig into this issue again, and then came the light

First i tried to uninstall and reinstall “cleanly” supercollisder and Sonic Pi
Then i find out that supercollider wasn’t able to boot on is own (I mean without errors)

After a while, i came to the installation of ASIO4all driver which solves Supercollider issue (if you force ASIO4all as default value at boot time)
Continuing, i find out the discussion thread above, mofifed the scsynthexternal.rb file and it worked like magic.
Yes, that’s it !

thanks for all those who provided support

alpheratz · January 13, 2020, 1:30pm

A bit too optimistic
Sonic works (and generate sound i can export and replay as wave file but i cannot get any direct sound when I execute a program.
Sound is generated (i can see it on the oscilloscope)
Now I’m trying to tweak the sound drivers (again!) and parameters
Will keep the thread posted …

alpheratz · January 13, 2020, 1:45pm

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

After some cleaning (un_install useless sound drivers , i only kept the ones of the sound card + the usb ones for various devices) and it works fine.

Cheers up !!!
