Newage Lu Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Hello! I installed the latest Cakewalk on my PC with Windows 7. Everything seems to be fine, I load a demo project but the [>] button is not clickable, I can't play it. I spent hours and hours playing with driver settings, different outputs, ASIO, WASAPI, WDM - it would not play. Uninstalled CakeWalk, deleted all settings in registry and computer, installed it again - same thing. It is so frustrating! Searched the net for a solution, even asked ChatGPT but found no solution for this particular problem. Please, help.

Living Room Rocker Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Hi Newage Lu and welcome to the Cakewalk forums. Can you post a screenshot with output of your Master bus? Make sure the output it point to your Realtek sound card. Also, check that your audio engine it engaged. Kind regards, Living Room Rocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Guitar Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 1 hour ago, Newage Lu said: What do you mean? The first place you look when there is no sound is at the output of the Master bus. It will possibly have defaulted to "none" because you have been screwing around with your sound settings. You should be using WASAPI SHARED mode with the Realtek audio and make sure all your settings in both Windows and Cakewalk are using the exact same Audio system. ( Realtek 1/2? ) I see you have a few others and those can conflict. Windows 7? that's gotta hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 905133 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 (edited) If you see other Track Control "Widgets" but not the one for Output --> [ O ], that could be a Track Control Manager issue. It could be something else, but the Track Control Management box is the first place I'd look. UPDATE: I was able to get the [ O ] track control widget to be missing from a bus, by creating a Custom Track Control Preset and unchecking Output in the Bus Strip column. If you have no idea what I am talking about, try changing the Track Control Preset to "All."

mark skinner Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 After a windows update (shortly after going from win7 to 10 on a normally offline pc) I also lost the ability to use the "play" button or spacebar for transport. This was in All of my projects. I tried everything I could think of and also posted about it here (and did everything suggested). Never did figure it out. I finally gave up and did a "system restore" a few restore points back. Everything went back to "normal" and the next update didn't bring the problem back. May not be your issue . I had put my PC online to re-activate CbB (again) , and it updated windows during the process. ms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
