  • 1- make sure you are in the right directory
  • 2- open terminal and type this example command: pd open pdstuf.pd
  • 3- make sure to run the script (python or shell) to send data to PD. for example: bash cpuinfo.sh (this should activate the PD patch)
  • 4- go to the menu bar and select media and then select 'audio on'
  • 5- if there are problems with the sound, type 'alsamixer' in terminal. Check to see if it is on (oo = on, mm = off). To turn master (first bar) on, press 'M'. Also make sure to quit firefox
