Starting with Audio Engine off

[Magic Russ]

I had this problem which I first ran into maybe 4 months into "Platinum"...

It used to be that when I started up Sonar, I could set up whatever instruments I wanted and start playing.  Sometime early into the Splat Era, when I started up SONAR, the audio engine would not start up.  I would have to press play before I could get sound out of my instruments.

I think this is related to my interface, a Komplete Audio 6.  I had SONAR on my laptop with ASIO4ALL  without that problem (haven't uploaded CWBL yet).  I installed the last version of Home Studio (or whatever Computer Music gave away) on my kids HP, and did not have the issue either.

 

I have been running at 44.1 kHz/192 samples in the process buffer, 1ms in the USB buffer.  Are other KA6 users having this problem?

Don't have the device but I would try  a little larger ASIO buffer. FWIW, the audio engine may be toggled in the transport module item L in the image below

This is odd, all of a sudden I don't have that problem any more, at least when opening existing projects or starting from an empty project.  This has been a minor annoyance for years.  My best guess is that when I opened the KA6 control panel to check on settings, it may have reset.
