Marcos Kleine Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi people! After the last update Sonar Freezes everytime i open a project, without plugins or tracks or with plugins and recorded tracks. The strange thing is that if i close the software and open again this problem disappear. If i reboot the machine, open Sonar, there is the same thing happening. Have to close, open and everything works ok. I am using the AXE I/O as sound card.. Any ideas? Anyone else with the same nightmare? ehehe Regards Kleine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 @Marcos KleineCould you please capture a dump from task manager while it appears hung and send it to me? That may show what is causing it. There is info here about how to capture a dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Borthwick Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi @Marcos Kleine, Firstly, thanks for sending your dump file, it makes it easy to locate the source of the problem. I looked at it and the issue is not related to this Cakewalk update. Its appears to be a hang in the Microsoft GS WaveTable synth which you have selected as the MIDI output device. I have tried that device recently and found it to be very unstable. I ran into that exact same hang after stopping and starting playback multiple times. The hang occurs when Cakewalk is sending a MIDI message to the device as indicated below. The device goes unresponsive and hangs the application. To solve your problem, don't use the GS WaveTable synth. You can try using TTS1 which is a GS synth as well. Also one clarification. Are you using WASAPI or ASIO? I will forward this information to Microsoft in case its something on their radar. ntdll.dll!NtWaitForAlertByThreadId() Unknown Non-user code.

Pete Brown Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi All Noel let me know about this issue. (Thanks @Noel Borthwick ) @Marcos Kleine which OS and version are you running? (If Windows 10, go to Settings->System->About to get that info). @Johnbee58 same Q for you. I'm curious to know why it works for you and not Marcos. Have you tried Noel's approach and found it to still work? Before I can get this in front of the team, I need to figure out if this is an issue that was always there vs. something new, so if anyone else can repro on older versions of Windows 10 and/or 8.x and/or 7, that would be incredibly helpful. To be frank, the GS wavetable synth isn't the best thing to use to make music with. It's in the OS mainly for compatibility, but the sounds are super dated and the latency is pretty high. Personally, I'd like to see it go away, but we have this thing about backwards compatibility. :) Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Thanks @Pete Brown As Pete says indicates that device isn't really designed to be used inside DAW's. Its mainly for playing back MIDI files in Windows and such. Also the GS synth and WASAPI don't play together well when the DAW is using WASAPI mode (thats why I asked) According to the dump file the user is running 10.0.14393 I don't think Johnbee58 was running with the GS synth. He just commented that it wasnt hanging for him lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had none, even after performing the latest update (10/9). I don't use GS synth, but rather the drivers that came with my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 interface. ?JB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
