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.
Definitely reproducible, Noel. I can open a project done in 8.5 or X1 and it pops up when I have the XiB patch applied.
Sounds are disabled in control panel.
This is happening with my Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56, the sample rate is 44.1K in Sonar (and the Saffire), at various latencies from 128 to 512, 24 bit depth. Playback only, haven't tried recording yet.

Once again ONLY with the X1B and/or hotfix applied. I have rolled back to X1A and the problem has dissapeared
I feel for ya. I hate it when these kind of things happen, particularly when they don't happen with other people.
However, maybe this will help...I review a LOT of interfaces. One time I was reviewing a Focusrite interface and had problem after problem with Sonar. and with some other programs too. I did not have the same problems with other interfaces.
To make a long story short (if told in its entirety, there would be many, many uses of colorful language), the GRAPHICS driver was causing the problem. As soon as I updated the graphics driver, the Focusrite worked flawlessly with whatever I threw at it.
This isn't the first time I've had graphics driver issues influence audio. It makes no sense to me, but hey, I don't design these things...I just use them. I've found there are generally two possible solutions:
1. Download the very lastest and greatest driver for your graphics card from the company that makes the card. Sometimes this makes everything work as if by magic, and sometimes it screws things up in a spectacular manner.
2. Delete the driver and let Windows find there isn't one, at which point it installs some super plain-vanilla driver of its own.
Good luck! No diss on Focusrite, of course...it's just one component that depends on another component which depends on another component that depends on another component...which means Sonar depends on all of them at some point.
I hope this helps. I've actually been having excellent performance from Sonar lately, it did work quite well for me from the gitgo but it seems a lot of the rough edges have been polished with the updates.
