Cakewalk audio cuts in the middle of playing

[Alex Solomon]

so every time i try to play my song on cakewalk the audio cuts off at a random time and it would not let me change the audio engine from off to on but I don't think its a dropout since it would not give me the notification and it happens at random times but my buffer size is at 256 please I'm begging someone help me.

Plugin in demo mode?

[John Vere]

Audio engine drop out is different that having a plug in in demo mode. Those don’t normally kill the audio engine. 
Troubleshooting 101-process of elimination. 
1- By pass all effects in the Control Bar. 
2- if this works and song plays then you need to un bypass and then one at a time bypass each effect. Focus on one’s that are known to cause issues first. 
3- if it doesn’t work then it might be a soft synth causing the issue. Freeze ones that you might think are the ones using the most resources. 
4- Make sure your system has been optimized for audio by running the Latency Monitor and reading the instructions about DPC.

Also if you use SSD drives run a diagnostics app like the Samsung Magician to verify the drive is functioning properly.

5- Give us more information to help us help you, such as what audio interface or sound card you're using. What's your operating system?

Or a misbehaving plug in.
