RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hi I am transfering over to a new PC. Lots of problems, but mostly solved with help from this forum! I used the downloaded installer to download AD2 to my new PC. However I cant hear it in Cakewalk through headphones, and I cant even get it to make a sound when using the standalone AD2 through my Windows (10) Realtek speakers either. So it seems to be an AD2 problem rather than a Cakewalk problem? I've also e mailed the makers but these can take a good while to get an answer so I thought perhaps someone knew a way forward?

Robert Bone Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 In the stand-alone mode, go to the Options or Settings or Preferences (whatever they call it), and look at the settings for the Audio. 1) What audio driver mode is selected? 2) If you have an audio interface, and it is running in ASIO driver mode, you should be able to select ASIO as your audio driver mode, in Addictive Drums. 3) Once you select your audio driver mode in Addictive Drums, load a drum kit into it, then you should be able to simply click on the various drums and cymbals in the kit, in the Addictive Drums user interface window, and they should produce sound - routed to whatever audio driver mode/device you selected in the preferences.

RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 it was set for "direct sound" So I changed this to ASIO... no joy. Tried Windows Sound...nothing. see screenshot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIBI Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Can you hear test tone when clicking "Test" button in that Setup window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canopus Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 As you can hear the test tone when pressing the Test button in the stand alone version, the routing should be ok. Maybe you have selected an ADPak (drum kit) which you do not own? Those are marked “PREVIEW” in the AD2 Gallery and can’t be used to play any MIDI files, except for the short preview snippets that are present on the same page as the drum kit itself is presented. Make sure that you have selected a kit that you own before trying to play anything on your Beats page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD HUTCHINS Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Thanks for this...I've just noticed a crafty " not installed" banner at the top corner of the standalone version. Odd as I went through the process of downloading it and signed in with my account details. So it looks like I've made yet another schoolboy error...I'm now going to figure out what I didnt do..Doh!
