Serious problems with new computer, evo 4 audio card and cakewalk.

[giant ll]

Sound become and disappear.. tried to install different times drivers. Could anybody help me? i have no sound in cakewalk during playback..

 

Also when i leave the pc alone 2 minutes.. i receive the message : "Nvidia High Definition Audio, your hardware is been disconnected from the system.. leave cakewalk using another hardware?" 

Nvidia is the video card.

The photo  show the settings. I've just  disabled the "loop back" input for some trouble  in past. There is no Nvidia driver selected.

 

 

Edit: i think i have solved by myself.

Disabled TV / Nvidia driver from Windows.

Solved some conflict problems with loopback drivers.

At the moment is working..

No.. i've saved the project with master set to channel exit: Main output EVO 4 

when i loaded again the project:

1) the master exit was set to : None.

Is not possible..

There is a problem

The sound make some "jerkily" movements.

When i opened Cakewalk i've received that error : GD3D11 Renderer doen't work with your Gothic executable.

Gothic is a game that is installed.. but i'm not using it. Is not loaded. It appaer when i open Cakewalk. What does it mean? 

Do i have to install again Cakewalk? Do could Cakewalk give me compatibility problems? I'm a bit confused.

 

Please if anibody could "answer" me, i think it's not a banaler question. I'm having so much problems. With my old laptop it has been never happened.

Now it's all working again.. but there were some really bad bugs..

I don't know if they were caused from:

1)USB problems?.. i was using an USB Hub a bit old.. now i've connected all in a better way. I don't know if it could  have caused the PC go crazy... it happen sometimes expecially when the PC go in freeze mode.. and come back again. 

2)Windows problems? Windows installation could be corrupted and give some errors in a mad way(for example give me a gothic error when i open Cakewalk) that have no sense..

Now i try to use the pc.. in that way. Only with Cakewalk i've had this "strange" problems.. all worked really well until now, i find that this pc is good  and really fast respect my old pc.

You should never let your pc go into hibernation mode.

Go into power management and set it to Always On, or whatever setting your OS provides

Ok, i've put off the hibernation mode. Also i've put off the option that shut down monitor automatically, that probably caused the error:  ""Nvidia High Definition Audio, your hardware is been disconnected from the system.. leave cakewalk using another hardware?" 

Now the error message don't appear anymore but, i have a really big problem: When i press play one time.. the project start mute, i don't ear any sound. Or sometimes try to start "jerkily".

If i push stop and play again, it works perfectly.

And then sometime this issue appaer again.

I don't know if i have to uninstall Cakewalk, try to reinstall or other..

I've tried to install again Evo driver, but nothing is changed.

I will try to install again.. and if it will  doesn't work.. try with another DAW for see if the problem is the same. I need to record now.

i'm surprised nobody said it yet, but cakewalk no likey nvidia hda driver (amongst others, they should publish a faq about this, listing the culprits)

uninstall this one:

/goodluck

Hi. Thanks for answer. I've tried to uninstall it. Uninstallation procedure seem perfect.. the voice disappear also from: Control panel/ audio.  But when i restart computer.... it come back again.

I've tryed to follow also this procedure..

Nothing.. the same. When i restart the PC, the driver is installed again. Do you know what i'm making wrong?

That's what I do. I disable everything I'm not using in the Device Manager>Sound, video and game controller tab.

Ok. I've tryed to disable only: Nvidia High Definition Audio but the problem remained. Now i try to disable everything except: EVO 4. EVO 4 it's the external audio card. I use only this.

So i disable also: Dispositivo High definition Audio.

and NVIDIA virtual Audio Device (Wave extensible) (WDM)

I've tryed, and problem unfortunately remained.

I've tried to disable everything except EVO 4 and it's worse. In this second case it give me an error.

There is something that happen when i restart the PC. The Windows sound of restarting don't come from Audio Card.. but from Monitor/TV and the level is really low. When i start Cakewalk and press play the sound is "jerkily" or "doesn't start".

One minute after .. it works better. Works better after than i press "stop" and "play" different times.

Also when i press record happen something similar:

The first time: the sound disappear and doesn't record nothing. I don't ear nothing..

I push stop.. and then record again.. and it works.

Check the autostart tab in the taskmanager.

No mention of Nvidia so i suppose that's good.

[giant ll]

Tomorrow i'll make some tests.

This problem is "insidious" because, as "strange bugs", the issues can come in a moment.. and after not.. After 30 minutes they can comes again. For example. 

 

I need a quite longer test to determinate how is going on. I'll work for some hours on recordings.. and  i'll could better tell how it works.

Also before happened that.. the issue didn't appaer in a first time, after yes.

I also changed some USB settings.

Go to manufacture web site and download and install the audio driver carefully following instructions. 
Go to settings/ Sound and check that Evo 1/2 are enabled and the default input and output devices. 
Disable all other devices listed both input and output. 

Go into advanced settings and choose your sample rate that you set in the Evo control panel. 
There’s a test tone you can confirm that everything is working and you have your monitors left and right connected properly. 
 

In Sonar preferences audio first select ASIO. 
Make sure no other devices are listed or checked. You want to only see the Evo on all the audio settings tabs including sync and caching. 
 

If there’s any sign of a generic ASIO driver remove them in the RegEdit App. 
 

Waveform is a free Daw you can use to test as well.
