Audio issues


Recommended Posts

Alright this one is pretty simple and I believe there is a simple way to fix it, but I just don't know about it. When I am using cakewalk with my headphone amplifier I can not listen to audio in other programs. Is there a button to fix this? It can get pretty annoying sometimes.

Hi Beatmakerguy,

There is a setting in Edit<Preferences<Audio<Playback and Recording | Suspend Audio Engine When Cakewalk Is Not In Focus that when unchecked will  allow audio from other programs.  (see green in picture below)

Kind regards,

Make sure Cakewalk and Windows are both using the same bit rate and depth like 44.1k and 16bit. Many interfaces can't do two different rates at the same time. Once one program starts using the interface at say 48k, another program at 44.1k will fail and be silent even if you suspend the Cakewalk engine.

I can run Cakewalk, Cooledit, Windows Media player and Youtube via Firefox at the same time as long as Windows and the apps are using the same rates.
