Unable to open audio playback device

[Aaron Lietz]

I have a feeling this might have something to do with my audio interface but I just can't seem to figure out how to make things work right. I keep getting this error; even after working in CW for hours. I closed the session, reopened it, and this popped up again. Any help? I'm using a Focusrite Saffire PRO 24.

Rebooted?

Make sure the interface and CbB are using the same sampling rate.

Are you using WASAPI or ASIO drivers? If you are using the WASAPI try switching to ASIO... 

Edit -> Preferences -> Playback and Recording ->Drive Mode...

My MOTU 828ES will not work at all with WASAPI drivers with Cakewalk... Doesn't matter what any Windows setting are or Cakewalk audio drive setting are...  If I try to use WASAPI (Shared or Exclusive) I always get the same message that you're getting...
