Internal PortAudio error 9986

[yann44]

Hi there,

I've got an issue when I try to launch the software.
I did a complet install with the last version (include cmake #103).
Install is ok (MacBook Air with Big Sur 11.1)
But, when the command: did -I pa:3 -o pa:1 -fa, here is the result (with dad -a before):

"

Do you know how to fix this issue?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Assuming you installed portaudio via homebrew, this is the solution:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies portaudio

brew install portaudio --HEAD

This will fix this error on MacOS Big Sur
