Hi All,
Please, I should need a little help: a student of mine has some problems with last OM version in Win 10, probably related to OMAudio lib.
Is it possible to download and test old Open Music versions?
On Github oldest version is 6.15, I was searching for older ones.
Thank you all in advance, ciao

Hi Fabio.
Sorry can’t help much with the old versions of OM for Windows. But perhaps you could provide some more info about the OMAudioLib related stuff: versions, where it came from, messages etc…?
Thanks!

Dear All,
Yes we are aware of the windows 10 issue. Fot he time being we don’t have a working windows station, but it will come soon and the problem will be dealt with ASAP.
@Anders, i don’t think it is related to the omAudiolib itself, it just have to be recompiled and updated in visual c++ windows environment. The reason I say so , the problem is happening also with the sdif.dll. So it is a issue with the loading of these dll on windows 10. For other windows versions it is ok.
@fabiopaolizzo, we will try the best to recover the former version of OM. As Jean stated, they unfortunately disappeared since the new forumnet site was put in service.

Hi All,
First thank you for fast replies.
Meanwhile I have receive a mail from my student: she has installed Ubuntu 19.10 and OM 6.16, but, I suppose in starting OM, she receive this error
I hope this can be generally useful, even if not windows related.
Ciao
Fabio
Ok,
too bad, Om was tested with the 18.x version of Ubuntu.
I will install this latest version, test and will be back to you.

Hi Fabio,
Very strange, just installed Ubuntu desktop 19 on a vm, everything seems to work fine.
Are you sure she installed the latest version of OM, i.e version 6.16 ??
Hi there. I just uploaded OM 6.16 installer for Windows:
Hi Karim,
Yes, the student told me she installed OM 6.16.
Now she has installed Ubuntu on her laptop, but this morning I have received a her mail saying that as alternative solution she could run Win 7 from a usb pen, so to use OM in that OS.
Unfortunately at the moment I have not had the possibility to assist her more directly, so I hope I am exact in explanations and news. I will give a more exact feedback as soon as we can get in touch in our Institute.
Meanwhile many thanks to you all for support.
Ciao
Fabio
P.S.
Only for sake of clearness: the problem started because this student is the only person of the course (composition for didactics) to have a tablet, an Apple one I suppose, so she recovered an old computer for following the course using OM.
Dear Fabio,
I don’ think it is a good idea to work on a win7 on a usb stick. Ubuntu 18 or 19 versions work good with the latest OM version. I suspect that the installation of ubuntu by your student was not that clear. Or, please can we have more info about the specs of her laptop. (processor wise ie.)
So maybe better to stick with the ubuntu solution.
Keep me posted.

Hi,
Just for info. Fabio’s student is not alone. I’m in Ubuntu 19.10 and with OM6.16 got the OmAudiolib error. In my case, this error appears every time I upgrade OM version, so I keep a self compiled omaudiolib that I replace on each installation.
best regards,
rc
Dear rc0
Can you be specific about your hardware concerning this problem?
What is your machine processor, etc…
Thank you
K
Dear Karim,
My student has sent me her computer specs, by following image.
Ciao
Fabio
Dear Fabio,
According tour friend dev @ ircam it is as i suspected, it’s due to the processor type. But this is not an issue. We will try to recompile omaudiolib in order to be more and more universal.

Dear Karim,
Thank you very much, if we succeed in resolving I will inform you.
Really my student was thinking about changing the computer…
Unfortunately we go slowly because we are not in Institute all/same days.
Ciao
Fabio
Dear Fabio,
Apparently, this is due to the old processor (celeron). So you need to compile the omaudiolib on the machine and replace it. We will deal with this issue in the next release so that it works on most 64bit processors.
If you need assistance, don’t hesitate.

Dear Karim,
Thank you. Today I should get in touch with the student, and if I have sufficient time during my pause I will try to compile the library on her computer. I will keep you posted about it.
Ciao
Fabio
Dear Karim,
We have resolved for the moment in this manner: my student has installed Fedora 30, and I had a compiled (on my Fedora 30 if I remember good) version of OM 6.13, that runs on my student’s computer. sdif lib doesn’t not load (probably it should have to be compiled), but for my course this is not a problem, so we can proceed.
Thank you all for help, ciao
Fabio
Hi All,
Sorry to disturb again, yesterday another student of mine, very late indeed with OM installation and settings, have had problems with OMAudiolib on windows 10. Before to try to compile the library on her computer (I have not a windows machine at disposal and she is not very expert in those procedures), is it possible to have a link to old windows OM versions, to test them on her computer?
It seems that the computer does not load the library: recognize it, and it is in correct place, I suppose, but there are not defined problems.
I apologize for scarce information, but at the moment I have not other data about her hardware.
Thanks in advance, ciao
Fabio
Sorry: a further specification.
I think it is a problem similar to that reported here: OM problem to launch on Windows by WillianBilli.
If I remember good the reported screenshots are the same that appeared on my student’s computer.
She has a not very new computer, too.
Thanks again
Faio
