Then I assume you are running Windows 10 ?

Anything is better than MME my friend. This is how you set it up...

https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=AudioPerformance.29.html

 

To enable WASAPI mode in SONAR

1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Audio - Playback and Recording.

2. In the Driver Mode list, select WASAPI Exclusive or WASAPI Shared.

3. Select the Audio - Devices page tab (Edit > Preferences > Audio - Devices).

4. In the Input Drivers and Output Drivers lists, select the desired input and output ports.

5. Click OK to close the Preferences dialog box.

Installed ASIO4all and selected ASIO and the noise is gone now

Where can I read more about the differences between them? (that a beginner can understand)

Thanks!

Selecting ASIO instead of WASAPI seems to have done the trick for me. I didn't know what ASIO was but after some very brief research it seems all you need is WDM and my sysinfo tells me I have it so I installed ASIO4All and the static is gone so far.

I installed ASIO4all then selected ASIO

It works now

Thanks!

What audio interface do you have? Have you updated the drivers?

Drivers are updated

But I don't have an audio interface (yet?). Not sure if I need one since I'm only starting out

I just listen through the audio jack 

But then it was working fine even through the audio jack before

ASIO not available?  If so, choose that.

Not getting any sound with ASIO

If you are running Windows 10 I would suggest trying WASAPI instead of MME. It will produce much lower latency.

I suppose if you are just playing back tracks, you should be fine using MME (except for the occasional 1 sec delay after pressing play).

But you might find much better results using anything but MME.

Oddly, when I chose WASAPI that's when the crackling sounds were consistently there.

It was gone when I selected MME

Hi, I started getting crackling static noise during playback after the latest Cakewalk update. Even when only one track is loaded there is still static. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it doesn't work. I know it's in cakewalk because playback in sforzando and Kontakt Player is normal. 

EDIT:

Solved it

I was stupid and just had to choose MME 32 bit (I am new to this sorry)

Edit again: Choosing MME 32 bit solved the issue
