I have the same issue and get the same exact message. I use 1 Samsung and 2 Sony 4k TVs as monitors. Only solution I've found (as mentioned) is to disable the Intel audio devices so only my Focusrite 8i6 handles audio. Definitely think this is a Cakewalk bug that needs to be addressed.

Jim, I'll head over to your site later today and sign up for some consulting time - it will be well worth it!

Bleh. Having same issue as last time I tried a dedicated Video Card. Not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or need to adjust? I installed the Gigabyte RTX 3060 card and installed minimum stuff using their installer. Even did a re-install using the NVCleanInstall option (thanks Jack Stoner). LatencyMon showing NVIDIA as the culprit. Samsung and one of the Sony TV's are connected to HDMI ports on GTX 3060. One Sony is connected via an active Display Port to HDMI cable (all TVs have HDMI only and GTX3060 has 2 HDMI and 2 DP). All displays look great and are at native resolutions (3840x2160, 60Hz). Samsung is in Landscape and Sony's are in Portrait. I'm not gamer, etc. and am not at all savvy when it comes to GPU's. Any suggestions? Should I disable on-board graphics (or does that even mater)? Using a pretty powerful PC, dedicated to just running Cakewalk.

Yeah, saw that - thanks.. I've used Gigabyte motherboards in the past and they worked well so I'll give them a shot.

Thanks HIBI and Jim! The MSI that HIBI mentioned does seem to slow the fans at lower temperatures. I'm going to trust Jim's judgement and go with a Gigabyte card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060. It has a lot of reviews that specifically mention how quiet it is.

Jim, is there a specific card you would recommend? I am not a gamer - this is a PC dedicated to Cakewalk. Need support for 3 monitors.

Thanks Jim! I am looking specifically at MSI GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6. It looks like the fans are pretty quiet and speed is adjustable. I've changed my mind on the 2 new TVs. My main Samsung AU8000 has good picture quality so I'm going with (2) 50" Samsung Q60A Series TVs (4k. 60Hz, 3840x2160) - same specs as the AU8000. I was thinking of going up to 120Hz model, but I don't know if that would make any difference as far as Cakewalk display is concerned. Cakewalk seems to render fine on the 60Hz model. Any opinion on 60Hz versus 120Hz?

I'm revamping my setup and will be using (3) 4k TV's as monitors. Main monitor is Samsung 55" 4k UHD AU8000. Thinking about (2) Toshiba 50C350LU 50" TVs as side monitors (flanking the Samsung on left and right in Portrait mode). What is the difference between the various "flavors" of the RTX cards? I'm looking at the RTX 3060 12GB GDRR6 card. Does it matter if it's branded MSI, EVGA, etc.? Is there a better option (RTX 3050, etc.)? I'm note well versed in the nuances of video cards. Not a gamer at all - this setup is strictly for Cakewalk. Side note: Opinions on the quality of the Toshiba TV welcome - I've never owned one...

Moises is fantastic and reasonably priced: https://moises.ai/

Not sure on that one, but there are many folks on this forum that know a lot more about Cakewalk than me :^) - hopefully one will know the answer...

See this discussion and especially the entry by msmcleod. Should solve your problem! https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/27804-piano-roll-view/

Think I said this already, but just to reiterate - many thanks to Jesse, Noel, Mark and all the Staff for staying engaged and providing as much input/details as they can. Don't think you'll find that much direct / hands on involvement from many software companies.

Anyone know why I don't (and have never) seen all my Versions of Sonar under "Connected Products" in Command Center? I have licenses for X1, X2, etc. but only see Platinum in Command Center. I've already got all the installers downloaded and backed up for safekeeping, but was wondering if I could download some of the unique plugins that came with prior versions (without running the installers) - if that is even possible.

Sounds good - best of luck on the gigs!

John, will you be able to re-post your tutorials under the new name? I've learned a lot from them and have many more I'd like to watch. Great stuff!

Thanks to Noel and team for staying engaged and offering as much info as possible. That, in my opinion, is already a good sign - and not something you typically get with other vendors.

That's good to hear. Thanks Noel!

Hopefully the 'upgrade' will play nice with all our 3rd party plugins/instruments. I'd hate to have to reinstall/reauthorize tons of stuff.

Yes Noel, I can. Will use that to download. Thanks.

Noel Borthwick, Command Center is offline. I wanted to download a lot of the things I paid for in the past. Are we out of luck?

Command Center offline for me as well. Uh oh...

Thanks JohnnyV. I'll try the custom install option and try to get all the old goodies in place before the big changes come.

Thanks scook! I did a search and did not find that topic - sorry for the redundancy! I'll test it out. With all the changes happening want to make sure I get access to all the older stuff I paid for before they possibly disappear...

I bought licenses for many Cakewalk/Sonar versions over the years and have access to them through my Command Center account. Unfortunately, I did not know about the best install sequence (older versions first / CbB last) so that you get access to all the plugins that came with the older versions - and I'm too far in to consider a fresh install of Windows 10/11. Question: Would it be possible to install the older versions in a Windows Hyper-V Virtual Machine, export the plugins/FX (or copy the relevant DLL, etc. files), then import them into CbB? Has anyone done/tried that?

Ed, I see your point and hope that is not the case. However, even if they opt for a realistic price (and NOT the dreaded subscription model) for future upgrades I'd be OK with that (i.e., you don't have to upgrade unless you want the new features). As we all know, nothing is truly "free". I'd be happy to support the Bakers - they've done really great work on this great DAW.
