BACK to X1A .. NONE OF THE QUICKFIXES FIX !! UPDATE WORKING(kind of!!!)

UPDATE:  I reapplied X1A, X1B, and quickfix 246 but did NOT let Sonar personalize the settings.
I also applied the Microsoft FW800 fix for sp3 ,even thought I thought i had applied it previously   .
Latest Focusrite drivers,.SO I can now press play and the audio engine wont stop.In about 5 hours of playback the engine only stopped one time, and the only time that happens is when I rewind to zero.

So as of now its working
After suffering through the occasional crashes with X1B, the finality of it was the Bug where it would pop up a dialog box stating my audio card may not support the projects sample rate. Pressing play would pop up this dialog and the project would not play. If I open up driver preferences and un ticked 64 bit double precision it would play. BUT i could go back in and tick 64 bit double precision and it would STILL play.

These were projects created in X1 and 8.5.3 with no sample rate issues before the X1B patch
So I uninstalled x1  with the B patch and re-installed just X1 I am not applying the A patch just yet


UPDATE: CW tech support and I have exchanged emails, but it looks like its an issue with X1B and my audio system. I did some more testing and find the problem arises if I try playing a project when first opening it , OR if its open and I rewind to beginning . the audio  engine turns off for some reason . I found I can reset the audio engine button and I can stop and start the project OK , but if I rewind to the beginning the audio engine stops.

This occurred with X1B , and XIB and the quickfixes 244 and 245.

So I am at X1A and will stay there till there is a solution

@FBB you are spot on there with your observations.Same symptoms and results here.I do notice if I hit the play button, for example, three times, I get three pop up boxes!!

I dont think its a sample rate issue either. I do believe its something cake did under the hood having to do with sample rate adaptation.

It was just a slight work stoppage because for no rhyme or reason it happens.

Perhaps X1C will fix this issue?

That's not good news. I've only used the quickfix for one session so far. That was only about four hours which wouldn't always be long enough for me to see the problem anyway.

The good news, for me at least is that I haven't seen it yet. Time will tell.

Yep, same issus here.  Looking to Sonar 8.5 solution.

Is this reproducable or intermittent? If its intermittent are you sure its not caused by having Windows share your audio device via system sounds? If you can repro this with only specific projects please indicate what audio interface you are using, the default sample rate set in SONAR and what the project settings are.

sonar is single-minded in the way it deals with drivers. my m-audio fw1814 as an example: most work i do in sonar is 44/16 or 44/24. i open sonar and all's good. 

but, if i've been working with vegas (which uses 48/16 or 48/24) and then open sonar, i get that message. i then have to shut sonar, open the m-audio asio control panel, change from 48 to 44, the re-open sonar. doesn't matter 853 or x1.

sonar has to be set to the same rate as your driver. could your driver be acting up?

sonar has to be set to the same rate as your driver.

 
This should no longer be required as of X1B. We've tested numerous devices and they all switch sample rates fine as long as the driver supports it.

Must be something specific to this device alone then. Does it happen with ALL projects? i.e. can you open a project with a single track and get this to happen. So the workaround is to reset the configuration by changing something in preferences?
Does turning the engine on and off help?
 
Please open a ticket with support as well as log this through the problem reporter with as much detail about your configuration as possible.

Just a quick update from me.........

I've been working on several projects since installing quickfix 244 and this issue seems to have been fixed for me. I've tried old projects and new projects and normally I would have seen the pop up by now.

Most of the time I didn't actually have to do anything to get playback though, some of the time the project would still be playing back while the pop up telling me Sonar couldn't open my audio interface was there, so it may be a slight different issue to others.

Hope you get it sorted.

**I of course reserve the right to come back and whinge later if it does reappear though.

Same issue here, I had to cancel my session tonight.

What sound card are you using, and is it happening to you with the XIB patch and/or quickfixes?

OK your issues are a bit different than mine, I don't have crashes, just my audio engine stopping.

Have you submitted a ticket to support?

Bummer on the CRA$HES DAWG!

Pardon me, to whom are you referring? Certainly not I, I dont know this dog person you are calling...
