Just wanted to note that I have an intel cpu, and experience problems with portaudio on the 5.09 installer, so I agree that it is probably not CPU-brand related.

I will research this a bit. > > Csound itself is built with MinGW, the PortAudio library is built with Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition (which is not tuned for nocona, just optimized). The code generation has to be different; this is not a problem on an Intel chip but just possibly it is a problem on the AMD chip. > > Try a MinGW-built PortAudio DLL from somewhere? > > Regards, > Mike > > -----Original Message----- >>From: Art Hunkins >>Sent: Sep 24, 2008 12:12 AM >>To: csound@lists.bath.ac.uk >>Subject: [Csnd] Re: PortAudio in 5.09 Windows Installer >> >>Mike, >> >>My desktop is Win XP Professional, version 2002, SP3.
