The only other thing that comes to mind is sample rate mismatch. Do the sample rates match between sonar and the saffire?

Unfortunately, yes, it was one of the first things I checked.

In Preferences-Audio Driver Settings, is the Saffire listed as the Playback Timing Master and the Record Timing Master? 

In Preferences-Audio-Playback and Recording, Share Drivers With Other Programs should be checked. Also, Use MMCSS  should be checked

In Preferences-Configuration File, try clicking on Reset Config to Defaults. Maybe there's still some Emu stuff in there.  Then restart Sonar. 

I tried everything you suggested (deleting temp files, cleaning registry etc.) and it is STILL not working. I have the feeling it cannot be fixed with the songs that I made using the E-MU.

How do you import specific tracks into a new song while keeping effects, presets etc? Or is it not possible? I can only seem to import individual clips, and it would probably take me weeks to get them all into the right place.

I only noticed it today but yeah its very strange... I don't understand why it wouldn't work on the old projects because I have deleted every E-MU/Creative Pro file on my computer (at least I think I have) and reset config to defaults like daveny5 suggested.

But this little thing is extremely hard to pinpoint..... I would really prefer to not have to import tracks into a new project... No matter how long it takes to solve this problem.

Yeah, I'm sure it is frustrating. 

I believe there is a way to open a project minus plugins. Not sure how to do it but you could try that. 

If it´s  disabled  as a windows audio device it  cannot be used by 
windows . Other Daws aso can use it!   

To be sure, it`s not disabled as an audio device, but as an windows audio device?
Sorry for that stupid question.

Then this direction seems to be a one way road.
To save the projekt and to migrate to a new song:
Is it possible that you use an onboard (Realtek or so) device with Asio for all driver 
just to cut the tracks to the same start point and export it ? 

Did you try these?

Also, on the old project, are you able to remove the Emu from the synth rack or from the tracks? Maybe its still trying to find the Emu.

How do you let X1 find your interface at startup after you have deleted the aud ini file? When I delete the file, the Saffire 6 doesn't show up at all in Sonar, even when I keep disconnecting and re-connecting it. 

Because X1 can't operate without an aud.ini file it will make a new one. While its doing that it will try to profile any audio interface it finds. I am surprised it doesn't see your Saffire. That is odd. It could be that you have another interface on your system. It could be the on board sound chip on your MB. Before you do the delete thing disable that chip in the bios. After you get everything up and running you can re-enable it if you wish.

Over all this should not be happening to you. Normally Sonar will work with any audio interface on your system. It really is simple usually. Also think about this in all the demo songs CW has bundled throughout the  years none of them were produced using your audio card. Yet they will play just find on any machine with Sonar on it. They do on mine and I know my interface is different.

I don't think I am.... Now the Saffire does show up in Sonar and in audio devices, but I have to reset config to defaults to get the aud ini file back. (and this doesn't fix the problem)

Sorry about the late reply, they have been saved as CWP files, and yes I only have the problem on old projects that were not started with the Saffire 6. There is indeed no mention of the E-MU anywhere in the project/s, and if I try to playback with the onboard sound card, it is the same problem but instead of 'audio record device', the error says 'audio playback device' (but the rest of the error message is the same as the other one.)

If that doesn't work, try copying the tracks from one of them to a new project and see if that helps. 

This is what I have been trying to do, but I don't know how to copy the data from one project to another. I can only seem to copy individual clips.

When I try to copy the tracks to a new project it is telling me that the audio format doesn't match new project sample rate even though they are the same... And no safe mode didn't make a difference unfortunately.
