Hey, all. I've had a registered copy of AudioMulch for about a month, and I just opened it today to find that I couldn't add the Sound Out contraption. When I go to pull it from the contraption list, it doesn't move; when I right-click to add a new Input / Output, Sound Out is greyed out. I'm not having this issue with any other contraptions. Any ideas?

Maybe something to do with AM Settings for your particular soundcard, and its drivers?

Possibly, although I didn't change anything. It was working fine yesterday.

The main reason it would be greyed out is if it is already in the patch.

One thing you could try is Edit > Select All, then Edit > Delete, then see if you can create the SoundOut. Let me know if that works.

There is a sporadic issue where contraptions are placed outside the patcher and the scroll bars don't display. It's possible that this is your problem, although I thought it was fixed. You could try creating another contraption then see if the scroll bars appear.

Can you provide some more info:

- Have you moved or resized the patcher pane recently?

- Have you edited the default.amh document?

Thanks.

That did it! Thank you. I must have altered the default settings somehow. When I added a LoopPlayer, then selected and deleted all, I was able to add Sound Out again. Fantastic! Much obliged!

Glad that "fixed" it for you.

If it happens again could you please help me to fix it properly?: take a screenshot of your screen showing the SoundOut entry faded out (I'm interested in the arrangement of your windows), and also send a copy of the Default.amh file that is included with your install. Send to rossb@audiomulch.com

Thanks!
