Exporting Problem - No Sound

I've used X1 for awhile now with relatively few problems but have ran into one that really has me stumped. I've exported mixes before with no problem, but now I'm having an issue with export creating an empty .wav file. The file begins with what sounds like a needle falling down onto a record, just a brief "popping" noise, then nothing at all from that point. The file plays for the correct number of minutes in real time but there is zero sound. A little about the track. I have 25 individual tracks and have set up 6 busses. Five of the busses are used for individual instrument mixes such as one just for electric guitars, one for mandolin and banjo, one for drums, one for vocals, and one for a guitar/bass mix. The final bus is a master bus and the other five send to it. I've tried just about everything I know to do and can't get sound either way. Someone please give me some ideas before I pull out what's left of my hair!

I am also choosing Entire Mix as my Source Category. I experimented an am able to export a single track just fine. But when I try to export all the tracks, I get nothing.

do you here anything during audible export?

The irony of it all is the song's title - "Simple Days". It's turning out to be anything but simple.

Kalle - The silent playback isn't on Sonar, but on the exported .wav file. It will "play" the entire song but there is no sound. As far as I can tell, I'm exporting the way I always have before but this is the first time I've had issues. I went back to an older song and performed a test export and it turned out just fine. After some experimenting, I was able to export using the "What You Hear" preset with a fast bounce. However, and oddly enough, the first measure of the song is missing. On one hand, I'm the only person that will ever know as it's a four beat count-in on an open high hat and the bass guitar sliding on the fourth beat. However, I *do* know so I can't live with it. :) djoni - No, I'm not able to hear anything during an audible export. The faders move and I can see the levels, etc, but no sound.

Yes, I did realise it's the exported wav that is silent. That's why it's important to check the signal route of every track as well as every single detail in your export settings. Don't just glimpse at them, read out loud every line in your mind to spot the possible unexpected . If your export source is something to which no audio is routed, the export imcludes only silence. Also, if the meters in SONAR move during real time export, but no sound is heard, it means there is a routing failure somewhere.
