First, hit P on the computer keyboard while Cakewalk is open and then click Driver Settings on the left. Tell us what it reads for Playback Timing Master.
That would be the device that would make sound.
But, if you really want to make music, a USB microphone is not the way to go, no matter what they wrote on the ad for the mic.
You will need an audio interface with a good (not USB) mic to record with.
It could get expensive, but doesn't have to be.

Thanks for replying to me, for Playback Timing Master it says (Headphones AT2020USB+) and it doesn't come up with any other options to change it. When I unplug the mic, I still can't hear the recording even though it says it has recorded something. Sorry if I'm being dumb. Also, I got this USB mic because it's the same mic that a musician I like uses, and he's a successful musician with a million subscribers and a large spotify following, and his music sounds really good, but he uses Logic Pro X and I don't have a macbook so I can't use that.

Hello, I have an AT2020 USB mic and when I plug it in while using Cakewalk, the little volume bar goes up and down when I record but then when I play it back, I can't hear the recording. I thought it might be something to do with the output sound, so I'm just wondering how I can fix it?  How do I turn up the output volume?  Also, I have a bad laptop (e.g. it only has 120GB on SSD), so it may be that (it's very frustrating, I just wish Macbooks weren't so expensive so I could afford one with Christmas/birthday/pocket money). I just really want to make music. Please help me if you can by answering my question, I would appreciate it 

Sorry I posted a question in the wrong place
