Jimbo 88 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 oh boy, you have to give us more to go on. What did you put into Cakewalk? Where you recording audio or programing midi? Did you set up your audio outs in preferences? You'd probably be better off watching a tutorial on getting started. Then if you get stuck on something people here will be more than glad to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Here is the audio hardware setup guide https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/Audio-Hardware-Setup-Guide use SONAR Platinum as the product. If running Win10 and the setup guide recommends MME try the WASAPI settings first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 FYI, driver modes in order of preference (best first): ASIO, WASAPI (Exclusive), WASAPI (Shared), WDM, MME ASIO & WASAPI should give similar performance depending on your audio interface. In general external audio interfaces that have a dedicated ASIO driver will perform better with ASIO. On board sound devices (especially laptops) will perform better with WASAPI. Exclusive performs slightly better than shared, but in exclusive mode, only one program can use the device at a time. WDM might be your only choice for older devices if ASIO is not an option, or if you're not using Windows 10. MME performs the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 To hear anything from the software, use the hardware setup guide to assist in configuring your computer (a.k.a. hardware). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the can then audio output is working. For MIDI inert a soft synth (try TTS1) and you should be able to hear yourself playing when the synth track had focus.
