Help with audio driver issue

chidman	Date: May 16, 2005 @ 5:31 PM I have just acquired Sonar 4 but cannot get any sound. Have installed latest sound card drivers and followed the settings suggestions on Cakewalk support website, have disabled everything else that makes a noise (except the cat - can't shut her up) but still no joy. I had the same problem with my other Cakewalk program and ended up binning it. Anyone have any suggestions?
chidman	Date: May 18, 2005 @ 4:15 PM I have just found that shutting down Roland VSC sorted it - I guess it was monopolising the soundcard. I shut it down and instantly got sound through SONAR

chidman	Date: June 26, 2005 @ 4:36 PM My problem is solved. As usual, down to me not checking the obvious.

Elu	Date: July 26, 2005 @ 5:25 PM I had the same problem with Sonar 4. If you are using your sound card exclusively (all channels) dedicated to Sonar 4, your other programs will not be allowed to use the sound. Try assigning only a few of the channels to Sonar 4. Only the ones you need. Let your computer system use the rest.
