this message: PortAudio Test: output sine wave.SR = 44100, BufSize = 64, devID = 0 Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: warning - requested sample rate = 44100 Hz -closest = 44188 comes out @ the very 1st test of PortAudio v18 on my GatewaySOLO 2100 (PentiumMMX150MHz,48MB-RAM) that has Slackware9D1 installed 'play' of 'sox' also gives me the similar message someone on the PA-List talled me that then i might not be getting the absolute pitch but the 'absolute' is the 1st priority for me since i wanna do the micro-tuned music the rebuilt kernel2.4.20 @ Slack8.1 didn't give me the message (is it it's just not giving me the message but doing the same thing?) and Jsyn(which runs on PA) @ Windows95(also installed as the alternative OS) runs OK without the warnings sould i simply get rid of Slack9D1 and go back to the previous Slack that i had ? is my hardware is the be blamed or the OS is not tuned correctly ? thanks in advance BUYO-BUYO-IGOR--------------------------------- http://buyobuyo.isgenius.com
