WTH #2

OK, driving me crazy.

I'm working along fine, export tracks, pull the master WAV into my mastering project. Decide to go back in to the mix and  tweak and... no sound.
All busses appear to be accounted for. Master bus to Liquid 56. No muting.
Further exploration indicates no project will play back sound. Waves appear intact and playback is indicated with time display.

Reason working fine with Liquid 56.

WTH happened? I've looked through all prefs and nothing has changed to the best of my knowledge.
Anyone has a possibility please toss it out.

Added Melodyne trial couple days ago. Had one crash but working since then. Disabling it makes no diff. Disabling all effects makes no diff.

It's like Sonar lost touch with the interface but I see no evidence of that...

    Well that was my shot at it.  A few of us have been having similar probs. Fix is close out and come back in.  Are all your meters displaying and transport scrolling, etc...  Just no sound?

    Transport scrolling; no meters.

    Interface switches to "in use" when Sonar file is opened. 

    Too weird. Like the audio engine croaked or something...

    Very frustrating.

    That's interesting.
    No toggle for the audio engine button, as if it's disabled.
    Hmmm...

    Reason working fine with Liquid 56.

    It's like Sonar lost touch with the interface but I see no evidence of that...

    It's times like these that I wish sonar had a routing / project information / properties window that you could also print. I tend to think something happened with your driver and of course maybe one of the buses or a bunch of them.

    If in preferences you can see your driver which would mean Sonar does too and would tell us something. Try changing from Asio to WDM or vice versa. I've had issues where using another DAW in between Sonar session would somehow mess with Sonar. This will typically reset and fix the problem. Once I get sound again, I switch back to the driver I like the best, which is Asio.

    Another thing to look at is the window sound mixer, I know it is not supposed to be a part of the equation, but I've had an instance where that mixer was muted and somehow, someway was blocking my sound.

    Of course you need to carefully check your bus routing, just in case.

    If none of that works, maybe try a system restore back to a day or so when everything was working. 

    If that doesn't work, then I would try uninstalling and re-installing the driver.

    That's all I have at this point...


    Good Luck and let us know...

    OK, surfed around and recalled the old "delete the AUD.INI file." That fixed it.
    Sure enough corruption of that file can disable the audio engine. I wonder why?
    Shame it gets hosed.

    Thanks for the feedback.
