I am having emense troubles getting any audio output from a file that has been loaded in an array. It seems like it is an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. I basically just need a specified audio file to be loaded in to an array then played on command without having to reload the audio file every single time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I am also running pure data on a raspberry pi, but that shouldn't make a difference.

I've attached my patching below, in a screenshot....

I can see a couple things from your screenshot:

First, if your sound is supposed to have loaded in that shot, then its only 100 samples long; i.e. it's only 0.00227 seconds long at 44.1k. Hardly any time for you to hear it. Secondly, your multiplier just before [hip~ 5] has no argument or input into the right inlet so it's essentially multiplying by 0. (Also for future reference, it's a lot easier to see what's going on when you attach a patch!)

I attached a patch using your [tabplay~] that shows what I mean. However, I prefer to use [tabread4~] given that it gives one more control over the playback.

Thanks! I have one more question, I am trying to run audio output, but every time I try to switch from the Jack to port audio under the media tab, the whole program crashes every single time. I've removed pure data the reinstalled it again, trying to switch away from jack, but every time it seems to crash. How can I work around this so I can start to hear audio from my RPi?

I'm not sure how jack or portaudio works on Raspberry Pi... Maybe just install jack on Pi? I'm sure somewhere out there someone has done it.

I also forgot to mention in my other post that the other important thing you'd forgotten is that in the message to [soundfiler], you should use the -resize flag such that [read -resize /file/here tableName(. That way Pd sizes the table correctly for your sound, otherwise it writes until the table is full and does not change its size.

Hello I have trouble with playing audio files from array too. It works with pd/doc/sound/voice.wav but not with my own files. Please help me.
