A said first use of csoundqt frontend. Tryed all the “Realtime Audio” combinations of input device and output device. No sound in the first example csoundQt offers. Better to try Cabbage?  
Thanks

Do you see anything in the output console that might provide any clues?

I think I solved because I copied an pasted the code at page 8 from csound-flossmanual-8.1.1 and now it sounds!! Great. The real thing is that I have to study! Thanks 😄

perhaps this can be useful, too:  
[https://csoundqt.github.io/doc/config\_run/](https://csoundqt.github.io/doc/config_run/)

for us, it would of course be helpful if you can tell which example was  
not working, and as rory mentioned, which error message were shown in  
the console.

somehow strange that another code worked …

Thanks! I’m not able to post the initial example csoundqt shows at the first installation because i’ve deleted it. I’m sorry. But there is an option: i’m using the PC at work. But I want to install csoundqt also at home. When I’ll install it I’ll see if it shows again the example and post it here!  
(sorry for my beautiful english… I’m italian 🤭)
