Ok thanks that helped me a lot. Got it working now, you are my hero

VLC media player works, sample rate is set to 44100 like the wave profiler suggests.

I also tried to just add an audio file to an empty project and still nothing. Since nothing worked so far I am starting to worry the problem is something very obvious and stupid. Is there a general volume Setting thing somewhere that I am missing? Anything that should be completely obvious? Also when i first installed Cakewalk I still had the software Voicemeeter on my PC, a virtual audio mixer. Since it was the only thing showing up in the sound driver section at first and I didnt get sound back then either, I uninstalled Voicemeeter and my regular sound card showed up. Could that still impact Cakewalk?

Yes onboard audio. I am using Windows 10 home 64 bit. I did try both WASAPI options and the wave profiler.

Greetings everyone! I am absolutely new to this software and Sound editing in general. Now that I am trying to get into Cakewalk my very first massive problem is that I get no sound in the demo projects to play. I followed the basic getting started Instructions Cakewalk links to, I tried using all sorts of settings in the driver setup but nothing yields any results. I would happily give more info but i honestly do not know what is relevant here. Thank you for your time.
