Any ideas what might be causing this: I've reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime. No joy.

Right, so I've been at this for over six hours. You and I have been at it for over three. It's 0730 here and I'm tired. I'll try again this evening, or later this afternoon once I've rested a bit. THANK you very much for your help. I'm sure it'll get worked out, eventually.

Another oddity, like we need more. Adjusting the volume up and down on my desktop has no affect on the sound from Cakewalk. It's a constant volume. Not loud, just constant when I play. It does, however, have some variation to volume when I adjust the Master slider up and down.

I can hear the metronome, but I have no idea what it's actually supposed to sound like so I don't know if it's true or not. It's not full of static.

Cool. How do I fix that? lol

https://gyazo.com/f9d5483c7bf48e8453fb54c90b950466 I get A sound, but it's soft and nothing like what it should be. Mostly a static type of sound that correlates to the notes I'm playing up and down the keyboard.

It concerns me a tad that the name of the audio device isn't exactly the same in these two places: https://gyazo.com/ee10668766ed2079fefa71903b82a777 Is it important?

https://gyazo.com/53eb03b368da52b2b52db3a6904d6e77 What can I do to be sure I'm pushing a sound out from the computer via Cakewalk while initiating that sound with the midi controller?

Where is the danged Master bus anyhow?

I guess it's obvious, but a signal is getting from my MIDI controller to Cakewalk, just no sound out: https://gyazo.com/e2a7265f0b6eaf87e82e48569543eb38

Backing up a bit for line 5. I go back to 2 and change it to WDM and I get this: https://gyazo.com/d4912b8fa22d73845480589694f9040e Also, my speakers were ever so slightly unplugged and sound was coming from my monitors not my actual good speakers. Those are plugged in properly and work everywhere except Cakewalk.

Hold on, I may have found something.

Hmmm. I do that and when I do the test, I get no sound from the test.
