I think it is not necessary as I am using the latest version of Cakewalke.
Version 2019.12 (build 26, 64 bit)
My operating system is Windows 10.
When I am starting Cakewalke, I get the following message:
"There are no audio devices for the current driver model on your system. Go to Edit | Preferences | Audio | Playback & Recording, and choose a different driver model."
I try to make the suggested correction, but there is no driver model to choose from.
