Oh boy!! Seems I was a bit too hasty to upgrade to X2. Please can anyone help???

I made the upgrade to X2a (clean install on Win7 64 bit) and everything was going ok.
 
Switched off the machine and later switched on to continue work on a particular project only to discover that no keyboard commands work.
 
 
Spacebar does not have any reaction, Ctrl arrow to enlarge clips - no reaction.
 
Shift + F no reaction.
 
 
On opening any project, the little display window which shows tempo etc is blank. Only if I click inside the track pane does that show correctly but the programme has no reaction to the keyboard inputs.
 
 
I went back to X1 and all is fine so the keyboard must be ok.
 
 
Anyone have any ideas?
 
 
I thought of deleting the AUD.ini file but cannot find it.
 
Looks like it's back to X1 until further notice...DAMN!!!!!
 
 
Cheers,

I ran into this over the weekend.  I'm setup to drive X2 (and 8.5.3) with (1) keyboard and mouse, (2) Frontier TranzPort, and (3) Mackie d8b + BluAudio D8Bridge MCU emulator.  Most of it works but I found that the spacebar wasn't operating the transport.  I don't understand it, but I found a workaround.  If I click the mouse in a text field somewhere, like the track name, and type in anything, like retyping part of the track name, when I leave the text field the spacebar functionality is restored.  Wiggity whack, I know, but it worked for me...
 
This was on a recent install of X2 on the system described below.  No X2a patch yet.

I have a similar issue with my spacebar not operating the transport (correctly).  Instead it toggles the Now Time positioning.   I tried your workaround (clicking elsewhere and editing text) but that didn't work for me.  The only thing I am able to do to continue is to revert back to X1 or 8.5 (both of which play the same projects just fine.
 
For a moment I thought we shared the same problem.  Seems to be the same symptom but different causes...  But just in case we are being impacted by something similar, here's my thread:

I did manage to sort out the problem by deleting the aud.ini file, so when I opened the programme again it all worked properly............only to have it happen again the next time I opened X2a.

This is starting to p*## me off now.

Wireless keyboard?

USB?   Power options all disabled?

Yes, it is a wireless keyboard. Not sure why that should make a difference.
 
Yes, Power options are disabled.

It seems as though X2 has some strange interaction with wireless USB things. In my case, my wireless usb mouse would start acting funny (fail to move or move erraticaly) everytime I started up X2, usually only after a few minutes and lots of clics. The mouse would then remain screwed up even if I closed X2. No other application did this.

Then on a whim I moved the mouse USB dongle from my tower pc on the floor to the usb port on my monitor and all my problems went away.

A keyboard is first of all managed by Windows, not Sonar.

As was said, check power off settings, batteries and try with a standard usb keyboard.

Sonar ill take its instructions via a Windows layer........

Sorry to hear this really...
Looks like we will wait until X2b before installing the version of X2 we just bought and downloaded...just to many complaints of instability for a full time production environment. Especially since X1 has been the most rock solid DAW build to date...if It ain't broke lol

Yep, I agree.
 
I certainly hope that there will be an X2b...
 
X2a seems to be a little flakey. Not prepared to risk the business running it just yet.
 
Back to X1 it is then...
 
Cheers,

omg ,,,,,,,,I realy start disliking the fact ; that we have to wait until version b or c until a costing product is fully functional .....is this realy legal ??????

Yep, kinda wish they'd waited until version X2b or X2c before they'd released it.

I've not had a useable system since upgrading from XP 8.53 to Win 8 X2A. All sorts of issues but pops and clicks are the show stopper. I installed Win 8 over the top of XP from the Microsoft site. But because I had so many problems I'm now in the process of reinstalling Win 8 onto a clean disc and I'll then reload X2A and see if I have better luck.

I've updated all drivers, bios etc. I've tried wifi on/off, Priorty Program/Background, Disabled Power options in BIOS, etc etc 

From the forum it looks to me that the happy bunnies tend to be using I7 processors and 64bit OS

I could get 4 Gig in  but windows will only use 3 gig max under 32bit.

I've done the clean install and just checking loops in the browser is a click and pop fest. It must be a driver thing though there is plenty on the web about audio pops in Win 8

I noticed Microsoft put out a Win 8 update which was installed today on my system addressing driver and "in particular audio driver installation" problems.

My system is running pretty well now. I don't think I was affected by the above issue. A clean install of Win 8 with no Start Up services during innstallation seemed to do the trick.

I noticed Mute/Solo groups work as expected in X2 but not X2A.
