Can I manually edit Cakewalk Sonar config file?

[SimonMaton]

I was trying to add my Allen and Heath Qu-SD desk to Sonar as a device, I selected WDM as the driver type and sonar immediately attempted to  find and test the device but it failed and crashed. Now that is all it does when I try and launch the program! Is there anyway that I can delete or edit the config file so that it does not try to load those drivers? 

Regards Simon

Find the aud.ini file on your system and delete it. Should be somewhere like Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Cakewalk

https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=INI_Files.6.html

Unfortunately that didn't work. When I delete the file and launch the program, it creates a new default instance of the file with the WDM driver selected for each device and crashes again! Could someone possibly show me an example of an aud.ini file configured for ASIO please?

This is how the file gets created:

I've tried re-installing Cakewalk but that didn't work either!

Ok, I sorted the issue thanks to this post:
