Hi, I’m somewhat new to Sonic Pi, I’ve used it a few times on my mac book but for some reason whenever I try and run it on Windows 10 I’m prompted with this

 ![image_2021-09-22_065300](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sonic_pi/original/2X/4/478851b2dd8c31457f095fa49fd66557d670877f.png)

Also I don’t really know if this will help but when I click show details this is what comes up.

Hi James 🙂  
Just a heads up - the ideal place for logging problems like this is our issue tracker at:  
[Issues · sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi · GitHub](https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/issues) - it’s handy to keep track of things like this in one place! 🙂

Having said that, there have been a handful of issues there with similar error messages:

> <https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/issues/2725>
>
> Hello hard-working maintainers,
> First I'd like you to know just how much I appr…eciate Sonic-Pi. It's really freakin' sweet.
> Second I have an issue (no duh)
> I just purchased a Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD audio interface so I could record my analog synth and use the samples in sonic pi. (link to the interface: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QHURUBE/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o01\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
> One cool thing about the interface is I can plug headphones into it and hear my PC audio through it while I directly monitor the synth output.
> I'd hoped I could just run some sonic-pi code in the background over the interface and doodle on the synth, free form, but...
> When I have the sound output set to the audio interface sonic pi will not start. 😢 
> 
> You can see the error below under \*\*Scsynth Output\*\*:
> \`\`\`
> ...
> Booting with:
> In: MME : Microphone (UMC202HD 192k)
> Out: MME : Speakers (UMC202HD 192k)
> SC\_PortAudioDriver: PortAudio failed at Pa\_OpenStream with error: 'Unanticipated host error'
> could not initialize audio.
> \`\`\`
> 
> Alone you wouldn't think that was the issue but if I change my output device then the program starts and works as expected.
> I couldn't find any issues that seemed to relate to this (it's a pretty dang specific issue).
> Are there any known driver compatibility issues with Sonic Pi and this specific audio interface?
> 
> Thanks in advance!
