Hi I'm struggling to configure my laptop to play sound from Cakewalk, and don't know how to troubleshoot it, so I wondered if anyone has any pointers please? The audio files are fine ( as I can play them back via my Zoom L20 mixer on ASIO), and I can also open and play the files on my main PC, but for some reason the laptop ain't having it! The laptop audio works fine for all other purposes (either direct from the built in speakers OR to my bluetooth earbuds.) I've attached a couple of shots to show what I'm seeing, so any thoughts on what is the optimal configuration for this would be much appreciated. I must be honest I don't understand the differences in the WASAPI etc. etc. dropdown list, and am not sure if this is the issue. (I know that in the shot the Realtek outputs aren't ticked but even when they are I still don't get sound) Many thanks in advance Edward

Hi I am using Cakewalk across 2 Windows machines: A Laptop in the band room, which takes the files direct from my mixing console. My main workhorse PC in my office in another part of the house. I have been using Google Drive to save my work in Cakewalk, so I can easily access the same files on both machines easily, but have noticed that at times I cannot save a file to my Google Drive, and I get an error notification saying that it is "Read only" However I can save the same file outside of Google Drive (say in the windows documents folder for example) without problem. I know that some apps just don't like to have files inside of Google Drive, and I wondered if Cakewalk was the same? If so, do you have any suggestions for a workaround so I can access the same work files across the 2 devices please? Many thanks in advance.

Hi there, so I'm just setting up my Zoom L20 mixer https://zoomcorp.com/en/us/digital-mixer-multi-track-recorders/digital-mixer-recorder/livetrak-l-20/ with CakeWalk, and I think (!) that Cakewalk is "seeing" the L20 OK, (see attached photo) BUT try as I might I cannot get it to get any audio channels / sound from the mixer, and I'm really stuck as to what the issue is. I have the most up to date Firmware in the Mixer, and have the L20 drive installed on my PC laptop (Win10) too, which seems to be functioning fine. Any thoughts / insights on this would be greatly appreciated, or any images showing me what is should look like would be terrific. Many thanks in advance Edward
