Hi,

I'm running PD 0.43.4 extended on W7 on an ASUS N76V notebook.

Whenever I connect the ~osc or ~phasor to the dac~ I get a low amplitude high frequency beep on top of the desired output. A PD filter does not help, since the beep is not supposed to be sent out.

When I set the osc~ near zero, the beep starts pulsing. Away from zero it becomes continuous.

On low freq at the phasor~ the beep seems to increase until the "tac" (sharp edge of the phasor) to drop and start rising again.

Any idea on how to overcome this? Will I need an external hardware filter?

The simplest patch representing this.

[number\
|
[sig~]
|
[osc~ or phasor~]
|
[dac~]

Thanks in advance for your help. Would be great if this has an easy solution.

I'm starting out and i have exactly the same problem, it would be helpful if someone has an easy fix.

If you are describing what I think you are describing, you are forcing your speakers to "jump" to a certain amplitude because the phase of the [osc~] or [phasor~] objects are not starting perfectly at zero when you connect signal cords.

I would suggest implementing some amplitude control before your [dac~] (which is good to have anyway; I don't know how you are able to handle those waveform generators at full scale unless you are turning your speakers way down!). Make sure to turn to volume off when making connections via signal cable.

@Gaspar Also, you don't need to connect a [sig~] to [osc~] to change it's frequency. Just connect the number box directly to [osc~}'s hot inlet.
