Silent buses problem.

Good afternoon!

I'm running Sonar X1 Producer on Windows 7 x64. I have been using a Focusrite Saffire USB6 audio interface for about six months now, and it works great for what I do! Until yesterday that is. I fired up Sonar to record some stuff, and I keep getting a notification that says there are silent buses detected. Apparently I have to reassign my master bus? I'm not entirely sure. I looked at the audio device settings and changed things around a bit, but to no avail. The Saffire works fine in media player or other music programs. Could anyone give me some feedback on my settings? 
Here are some screenshots:






Thanks a bunch in advance! It's pretty frustrating!

    What is the output of your master bus assigned to?

    Also, do you ever actually use the ASIO4ALL drivers? If not, I'd just get rid of them.

    What I suspect has happened is ether:

    1/ You normally use the Focusrite drivers, but at some point, a situation has arisen that has made Sonar assume you want to use the ASIO4ALL drivers, and you've saved the project in this state.

    If so, just change the output of the master bus back to the Focusrite drivers.


    2/ You normally use the ASIO4ALL drivers, and these have for some reason become inaccessible. If this is the case, I'm not sure what the problem would be.

    Look at the last screen...

    For latency adjustment the ASIO4ALL driver is used, but for the Playback and the Record timing master the Focusrite ASIO driver is used. I don't know if this is advisable at all..

    I agree - get rid of the ASIO4ALL drivers. This are no real ASIO drivers but wrap-around drivers. Used wrongly they can lead to system instability, strange side-effects, or even a plain system crash (as I have seen in the past).

    Okay, I got rid of the ASIO4ALL drivers. Still getting the same error though.
    How would I go about setting the master bus output as I think that might be the culprit, then? 

    edit: I figured that out on my own. Sweet, it works! Guess it was just that thingie. 
    Don't know how it got changed though, but oh well. 

    Thanks for all the quick replies, much appreciated! :)
