SONARPDR cannot end

I usually encounter this as well, usually when i get a crash whilst re-wiring reason, would be interested to hear what the deal is myself

This can happen when a hardware interface such as a USB MIDI port wont close. Check if it is still open if so simply unplug it for a moment.

If that does not work logging off windows and logging back on is usually enough to fix it rather than a full reboot.

Whats your sound card?

When Windows Task Manager fails me, I usually reach for sysinternals.com Process Explorer.

It's great for all kinds of tricky problems. Free and highly recommended (by me among others).

When this happens with my Edirol UA-25EX USB interface, I've found that I need to unplug it for more than just a moment - more like 10 seconds.  Then, after it's been freshly detected by my laptop, I re-open Sonar, then close it normally, and this stops the SONARPDR.EXE process.

Well perhaps a moment is a little short depending what one thinks a moment is.

Yeah.  Thing is, it really did make a difference, at least in my setup.  If I did a quick unplug/plug (which I'm prone to do when I'm frustrated and peeved), re-opening Sonar would still give me a "silent Master Bus" message - meaning, "no sound", and SONARPDR.EXE persisted.  Whereas when I give it 10 seconds or so before re-plugging, I'm good.
 
That said, sometimes when another program (like Band-in-a-Box) has been using the Edirol and ASIO, and I then open up Sonar too soon after closing the other program, the "silent Master Bus" thing won't go away no matter what I try.
 
(...therefore full reboot, and a few choice words.)

What makes "The Teleport Server" so darn crash prone anyways??  Plus (and here I must once again show my imbecility) how do you log off and then log back onto W7?

And indeed it is!  Thanks John, ol pal.

Same Sonarpdr problem here.   Sonarpdr will not shut down after a Sonar session.   I noticed it because I could not restart Sonar without rebooting.   I remember others complaining about it on the forum a while back but at the time I was running XP and did not have the problem.
 
My USB driver for Tascam US122 hangs when I shut Windows 7HP down.  I have to physically unplug before shuting down or hit the kill switch.   Similarly I tried unplugging the USB as but could not get Sonarpdr to quit with the task manager (I did achieve an eventual blue screen though).  I also tried using both the ASIO and WDM drivers but it didn't matter.   Not a huge problem.  
 
I have some other weird stuff with my Windows 7HP computer and USB - like my USB ports are powered on even when the computer is off.  I spent a little time on the device manager trying to turn off the ports but was unsuccessful.
 
 

SONARPDR usually ends automatically after few minutes and no need to reeboot.

In my usual V-Vocal crashes Sonar will literally take up to 5 minutes to close out of my task manager, no matter what I try.

I just wanted to reply by saying thanks to everyone who has chimed in on this issue.  It looks like some have had somewhat similar issues.

If I find a successful fix I will post.   So far, only a full restart works for me.
