Hello everyone, thank you.

After switching to WASAPI shared instead of ASIO I can play audio now thanks. Sorry for the very late response I was busy with stuff.

This is common.  As Mr Tecknot has recommended- Use WASAPI mode -DO NOT us asio4all that was 15 years ago.  

And always check your Master bus is set to your speakers and not the Digital output.  

oh... so I should switch to WASAPI driver rather than ASIO? I'll try that. How do I check if master bus is set to my speakers and not digital output?

Hi wa7saka and welcome to the Cakewalk forums.

What driver mode is your project currently set at?  (see Edit | Preferences > Audio > Playback and Recording > Driver Mode)

Kind regards,

tecknot

Hello thanks

my driver is on ASIO right now

Hello, I need some help.

I've never used a DAW before and only have experience with audacity and a few other stuff. I loaded in an mp3 file and hit play to try to listen to it, but instead I got an error message saying "unable to open audio playback device". I'm only using Realtek audio and don't have an audio interface. I'm not a tech person so I'm not sure how to do anything... anyone know how to fix this?

I only just downloaded today and am trying to figure things out and tried watching Youtube videos too but nothing worked. Help would be appreciated
