Sound issues...

[Collin Fields 0]

I can't get any sound out of Cakewalk. Sound works fine with everything else. Just not Cakewalk. Please advise....?

"...with everything else" meaning..? With other DAWs? MP3s? Windows Music Player?

So you do get something recorded, but only output is the problem?

What is the sound you're trying to hear? Something you imported into CbB or something you recorded yourself?

Do you see activity and waveforms on the tracks, but nothing's audible?

What kind of a setup do you have? Mobo soundcard or an external one?  How are things connected?

I have a zillion questions, as you left out a lots of details regarding how you have your audio interface set up in Cakewalk.

I'll start with these question first,

1. What audio interface are you using

2. Did you define that interface in Cakewalk?

3. How did you define the audio interface? What driver mode and other settings did you set it up with?

4. Did it just stop working? Or are you trying for the 1st time?

 another post by on board sound user who haven't checked the master bus only to find it is set for digital audio out. That's why I made this video as I get tired of answering this same question.

Collin, you've probably gathered that there are a "zillion" (to quote CJ) possible reasons for not getting any sound. With some additional information, I'm sure we'll be able to help you out. Both Kalle's and CJ's posts ask good questions. Let us know if you don't understand them.

You need to install a better driver.
