I have put together a synth and exported it as a exe file. Audio and midi works just fine exept the native asio driver on my soundcard. Asio4all, directX and primary driver is all good. But when i choose the native driver for my soundcard i just get a click (note on value? 1) when i hit a note and click (note off? 0) let the key/note off. The driver and synth works all fine inside SM.
Anyone familiar with what this might be?

if someone could try it out and see if they experience the same thing. it might be a problem on my computer only (i hope)
thank you tor

There's something wrong with it. It works fine on Access Virus soundcard, but not Mackie Onyx 1220. hmm u can pm me the schematic if you like. It's a really nasty loud click when the Onyx driver is engaged. It's the ASIO on both cards I used.

Does your synth have audio inputs of any kind?
Whenever I open the .exe on my laptop, I get immediate 'howl-round' feedback from the speakers to the web-cam microphone. This doesn't normally happen! (I exported the SM example synth just to make sure) - so it seems that your .exe is creating a connection from soundcard input to output. This may explain why it only happens with certain soundcard drivers - the effect of such a link would depend on the routing of the soundcard I/O and settings in any 'mixer' applications it might have.

Here testing this with my netbook, you can hear that there´s a direct connection from input to output - I clap and a second later I can hear my clapping. The synth plays fine, thou, no clicking.

I recall reading some where here on the forum or the wiki that in some cases there had to be dummy inputs. So it was just a try and fail. I guess the case with the inputs got nottin to do with exe files in general. This is a whole new terretory for me to explore. Never done any thing in poly before either. I removed the inputs now. But that did no difference to the problem. Have I got it right by the way? A midi input connector and two mono out for exe files/instruments?
But your feedback made me search through the scematic and I think I found the troublemaker. It is the filter I use. Strangely it works fine as a vst in any host i tested. With all different drivers sound cards but one. And it gives fine output in vst plugin analyzer. Why would a filter crash with (a) particular soundcard(s)/driver(s)? Could it be SM exe files misunderstand some samplerate settings or dont get the info at all from certain devices? Hmmmmm.... no then the SR prim for the oscillator frequency also would fail. Im lost here 😕

EDIT: Removed the osm. No one of the 8 people downloaded it have an idea?
