Aloha from Hawaii Promidi. I have solved the problem. I had a funny feeling that an update might be the culprit. I don't know for sure, but all was working 2 weeks ago right before last update. I decided to see if Sound Forge would play audio and it did not. Right then I knew it had nothing to do with CW & probably a windows/sound device issue. I opened MOTU audio control panel and unchecked something about "allow to use RT audio". It had always been set that way. Bam problem gone. Sorry, I didn't consider listing the version of windows etc, but I do appreciate your advice.
Aloha,
Steve
