So, the internal chip is set as the Windows default and the sample rate for Windows is set to 44.1k. After verifying the sample rate in Windows using Windows Settings > Sound > Device Properties Advanced tab. Remove or rename Aud.ini in the %appdata%\Cakewalk Core\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core folder Then follow these directions https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/Audio-Hardware-Setup-Guide?productId=CSPT100&audioDeviceId=135 If MME driver mode works, then try the other modes selecting the one that performs best for your machine.

Make sure some other media player makes sound. Make sure Windows and Cakewalk are set to the same sample rate.

I am not aware of any demo projects specifically designed for Cakewalk by BandLab. Could provide a link to the project giving you trouble? It might be helpful for others to look at the project before making suggestions. Other than load and try to run this project, have you tried more simple tests such as creating a project, add an audio clip to it and try to play the project?

The setting is in preferences. CbB must be run as administrator to change this settings.

No, Beatscape was dropped starting with X2. Like the "Loops and One Shots" installer, the synth has nothing to do with Platinum. I just checked the Command Center and my account, the loop libraries are gone. IIRC, they were removed during the shutdown in 2017. support@cakewalk.com may be able to help.

Just to be clear, what used to be called "Loops and One Shots" was reorganized content from Beatscape bundled with X2-3 Producer. This was not part of Platinum. The 3 libraries shown above were part of SONAR installs (including Platinum) for some time. Platinum also included other loop libraries. They should show up at the Command Center top level. These include the Brian Hardgroove Collection (Braintree exclusive), Kick Start Expansion Pack (Everett exclusive) and Big Fish Audio Loop Content.

IIRC, the OP is a native French speaker so I posted a link to the French help. This is the English page. There is a language argument in the url. Notice in the French link "language=2" https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=2&help=Inspectors.3.html#1220713 Changing this to "language=3" like this https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Inspectors.3.html#1220713 calls up the page in English.

I am not sure the function is exposed in shortcut preferences. "Insert Patch/Bank Change" is in the global area. This dialog has a patch drop down and a link to the patch browser.

Don't have to open the inspector, the default shortcut for the current MIDI track patch browser is a semicolon.

Usually activation codes are issued one time and the user is responsible for keep a record of the code. The code may be listed in your old Cakewalk account. It could be a permissions problem. If you have tried running as administrator and still get the error when trying to activate you could try contacting support@cakewalk.com

Don't have the software to test. It may be old enough to require running as administrator to register.

The theme editor is only needed to create or modify an existing theme. It is not necessary if one only want to use themes. The theme editor install details are in this post To add a user theme to CbB, copy the .sth file into Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Themes. By default this folder is in the root of C drive. Once added to the "Cakewalk Themes" folder, user themes are loaded into CbB in preferences.

The X3e patch is available in the old Cakewalk Knowledge Base.

Enable input echo on the tracks

The default shortcuts listed in the documentation work

This option was renamed starting with X3 (as a result of VST3 support) to Always Stream Audio Through FX

The "offline help" option was removed from preferences because BandLab only offers web-based help at this time but the local help logic is still in CbB. This is all covered in a previous thread Detailed help for plug-ins is separate from the CbB help system. Help for plug-ins is installed locally with the plug-ins.

The track view grid line option is in the track view menu View > Display > Vertical Grid Lines The PRV has a similar option in its view menu called "Show Vertical Gridlines"

no

May be confusing WDM and the newer WASAPI modes added to Platinum. As a rule, a manufacturer supplied ASIO is still the best choice but feel free to try the other driver modes.

Chances are the effects unit's latency varies depending on its settings. This could prove challenging when using it as an external insert.
