oh boy, you have to give us more to go on.   What did you put into Cakewalk?  Where you recording audio or programing midi?  Did you set up your audio outs in preferences?

 

You'd probably be better off watching a tutorial on getting started.  Then if you get stuck on something people here will be more than glad to help you out.

FYI, driver modes in order of preference (best first):

ASIO, WASAPI (Exclusive), WASAPI (Shared), WDM, MME

ASIO & WASAPI should give similar performance depending on your audio interface.

In general external audio interfaces that have a dedicated ASIO driver will perform better with ASIO.

On board sound devices (especially laptops) will perform better with WASAPI.  Exclusive performs slightly better than shared, but in exclusive mode, only one program can use the device at a time.

WDM might be your only choice for older devices if ASIO is not an option, or if you're not using Windows 10.

MME performs the worst.

First import an audio loop or a wave file from the browser and make sure you can hear it.

If the can then audio output is working.

For MIDI inert a soft synth (try TTS1) and you should be able to hear yourself playing when the synth track had focus.
