Cakewalk Doesn't Launch


Recommended Posts

When I open the program, I'm greeted by the small rectangle window that says cakewalk. It never progresses past this screen.

I've used the workaround that involves renaming the cakewalk core folder in the appdata folder, which works, but I end up having to do so every time I launch the application. 

Even a minute after closing the program it does the same thing when I try to launch it again. 

 

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

Are any of you using the Realtek ASIO driver?  This driver has known issues (it doesn't even pass the basic ASIO SDK tests).

I had exactly the same symptoms described above on my laptop ( with a pretty new i9 6 core/12 thread processor) using the Realtek ASIO driver.

The fix is to switch to WASAPI mode in Preferences->Audio->Playback and Recording
