no sound / problem with audio engine

ive now figured out this an aduio engine problem...every time i open the preference menu if i exit the menu by clicking"cancel"i have no sound and there is no way to reset the audio engine..if i click "OK" when exiting the preference menu i have no sound..BUT..i can click on the audio engine in the control bar and reset it and then hear sound

noone??..i guess i might be on my own on this one.

I have a similar problem.. sometimes the audio engine will stop but I see the meters dancing.

If I fg to preferences and just invoke the driver and bring up the aiso panel and click OK it must reset the audio engine and everything plays then
 
i try'd..that..i wish it had worked but no go...i do thank you for trying to help me .

thanks karma..im seeing the same problems..also  in my soft syths..ezdrummer is there but wont load the drumkit..

This sounds alote like the problem I`m facing with my new Motu 624 and Sonar.
I`m wachting this.
Peace

 I think this could be an issue with sample rate change on win 10 not working properly.
I`m seeing alote of treads about win 10 and usb problems while trying to solve my problem.
I hope its not that big cause if we have to wait for Microsoft God help us all.
Peace

Just FYI, I've been working in X3 all evening and haven't had the problem.  Haven't even had to press the audio reset button.  Seems like its a problem w/ Platinum?

Interesting. I've only just posted elsewhere about something similar. I also believe it relates to win10 and sample rates. I will stick with the current sonar version and await the next update to see if anything changes. You reminded me Bruce I need to buy another drive for disc imaging backup.........

Interesting thread, guys.
 
just last night I had the same issue 3 times that Sonar "lost connection to its audio engine", meaning the song kept playing but Sonar entered the non-responsives state. playback was fine but could no longer be stopped neither from keyboard nor control surface. i know i had been pushing the system hard, running low ASIO buffers and doing "nasty" things like adding plugs while playback ... still, been guilty of that before, but have not seen that behaviour
 
The other odd thing is that Sonar occasionally does not like the combination of certain plug-ins e.g. FF MB and WAVES AR Plates (on different buses). Independent of ASIO buffer size it will crackle. Often closing the project and reopening fixes it (no changes to buffers or plug settings) ... weird
 
 

"Slightly disturbingly, a simple rollback didnt rectify the issue.  I had to reload a disc image I took before updating to return my system to normal operations. "
 
Tenfoot that could easily point to something in the OS not Sonar.

I have the inverse of that Rob, where I can start and stop playback and the transport moves as it should, however only a small section of completely random audio samples are played. Really weird. The saving grace is that the project can be saved and reopened and plays correctly without issue after reopening. I don't even have to restart Sonar. Still unusable in a live performance situation though, hence the rollback.
 
FWIW Rob, as I know you also use Sonar live, if you do roll back any project that was saved using the latest versions of sonar, upon opening in an earlier version (my stable choice is 2016-09) will see any archived track feeding a disconnected VST synth as a missing audio output upon loading. Cancelling the dialogue and resaving the project rectifies the issue. I suspect the ill fated attempt to have Sonar recognise outputs on different systems a few updates back is to blame.

Tenfoot you dont even know how important is your last tread for me.
Now I know for sure that I have two problems and I can separate them.
They both stop the audio driver , cause you know I have just bought this soundcard ten days ago.
Infact i rolled back to 2016.09 on the small i3 Toshiba Laptop and motu 624 is working as it should,no crashes at all.
Now all i have to solve is the issue of the usb 3.0 on my Acer cause that is my work horse.
Thanks man.
Peace

I'm going to be using Home Studio for this very reason. For $50 it also might be a solution for you guys. HS is rock solid so far and no reason it cannot play anything done in SPLAT. 
I will be doing a test run in a couple of weeks so will soon find out.

Sorry to hear of your woes Chuck.

So these problem are long gone. Cant remember what solved it. Then again.. I cant even remember creating this thread .
 
I appreciate the words though.

Haha - I didn't even notice the date Chuck. It did strike me as unusual that you were having issues.  That will teach me to browse the forum over morning coffee without my glasses on!
