solved Audio Engine Quit Working For Single Project

[sjoens]

While working on a new theme, I opened and closed the same project several times without saving, tho changes were made each time. Now the Audio Engine refuses to initiate or turn on for it.

It works for other projects and other DAWs and no settings were changed.

Even tho my audio was not disconnected (other projects and DAWs work) the master bus was somehow set to "---NONE---":

"SOLVED

When you run Sonar with the soundcard disconnected, the main out is missing, the so master bus's output becomes set to "none".  The master bus output needs to be reset manually to the main out after the soundcard has been reconnected.

If I had opened Console View, I would have noticed this earlier, but I was too hung up on why the audio engine button was not active.  Seems obvious now."

I solved my problem by reading your post ! Thank you very much !

Glad it worked for you.  I barely remember that post and still not sure why CbB couldn't see my audio when it wasn't disconnected.  It may have been a Windows issue.

Normally if the Master output is "NONE" then there's probably no audio source listed or checked in Preferences - a good place to check 1st.
