Update: I messed with it a bit more and was still getting nothing, until I opened TH3 and then closed it, suddenly the playback started working. Does anyone know why this happened? Its working now but I want to know why.

I can record, there are waveforms. I'm using a scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. The inputs and outputs of the scarlett are the only options that show: Input 1 L, Input 2 R, Input 1 + 2 S, and Output 1 1+2 S.

No activity, all turned to 0dB, no plugins.

Alright so I just got this DAW and have been fiddling with it for several hours overnight following every forum post and youtube video related to "no audio in cakewalk" but I still just cant seem to get it working. The audio drivers are all correct, master bus, sound card, inputs and outputs, you name it I have done it. Yet there is still nothing from playback. There is audio when I am recording, I can here my guitar and the tone is changing through the amp sims, but playback gives nothing. I am at a loss at this point and IDK what to do. Are there any other things I could have missed? I can provide screenshots of specifics if needed.
