when using the portaudio backend (called "ASIO" in the menu), I/O devices must 
use the same audio API, but in your case you have ASIO for input and MMIO for 
output.

When using the portaudio backend, MMIO is indeed broken (probably we do 
something wrong in Pd, I have to investigate). If you want to use MMIO, use the 
MMIO backend (called "standard" in the menu).

I think what happened is that previously you used the "standard" backend and 
then accidentally switched to the "ASIO" backend.

BTW, it's generally better to use the "ASIO" backend and select the ASIO driver 
of your device, in your case that would be "Realtek ASIO". If your device 
doesn't offer an ASIO driver (e.g. cheap soundcards), you can install a generic 
ASIO driver like ASIO4All.
