Sonar X2 Pro playback head sticks
Everything seems to work fine in Sonar X2 Pro but the playback head sticks after 1 second and doesn't page or follow the music.
Don't know what to make of it.
Running X2a build 351

The playback head is actually called the "Now Time". You probably have hit the Scroll Lock (ScrLk) key on your keyboard. Its usually on the Pause key.

I agree with daveny5, this is something that can happen and is very easy to fix. If it's not somewhere obvious on your keyboard then try opening up your computer's "on-screen keyboard". There is definitely Scroll|Lock button in there.
However, If that doesn't fix it...
What kind of audio interface are you using with SONAR? I don't see one listed in your credentials here. Sometimes certain driver modes paired with incorrect audio interface can cause some whacky behavior on the Now Time Marker.

The playback head is actually called the "Now Time". You probably have hit the Scroll Lock (ScrLk) key on your keyboard. Its usually on the Pause key.
Just to clarify, the Pause key toggles CPU Conservation Mode, which ill cause the Now time, meters and other GUI changes to update only once a second during playback, but the Now time will continue advancing, and the timeline will continue "paging" at that interval. Scroll Lock should have a dedicated key on the keyboard with the possible exception of some laptops. One other thing to note is that there is also the function in Track View Options > Click Behavior for "Left Click Locks Scroll", and this scroll lock is independent of the keyboard scroll lock. It's possible to have both locked, and have to unlock both of them to get scrolling back. The Left Click Locks Scroll is disabled by clicking in an empty area of the clips pane in the track view.

I'm using Digidesign Mbox2
I tried the scroll lock and Pause|Break buttons, also the option clicks behavior.
Still doesn't page, time code stops and the now time bar isn't moving.
But it does play the tracks fine.

Could this be my Mbox2 ?
Yup, try downloading Digi's latest standalone drivers for the Mbox2. I've seen the stopped 'now time' with them before.

well...i didn't have the latest driver so, i installed the latest driver 9.0.2.65 and still does the same thing. I also uninstalled X2 and reinstalled, and it didn't help either. Just don't know what to make of it.

wow, i just switched to a WDM/KS driver mode and it's working now with Mbox 2, recording and all.
I was on ASIO with Mbox 2.
I always used ASIO before.
I just kept fiddle'n around and got it to work.
Thanks for the help guys, it made me think.

spoke to soon, I was wrong it's not working. when I listen to the recording it's al mush like in a different sample rate from what the project is in.
sheeezz, I can record in ASIO and it's good but the now time isn't moving or to actually see it rendering audio till i stop record and boom it's all there.
Maybe this Mbox isn't going to work.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Yeah Guy, I had the exact same problem with our Mbox rig. We just couldn't make it work with Sonar. We keep Digi stuff with Digi....and bought an RME Fireface 800 for Sonar. I'm not saying you can't make Digi work with Sonar....but I AM saying I couldn't do it so I gave up and the problem went away with the new interface. Someone here may chime in with a fix for you though...so don't give up just yet. I hope you sort it out.

No fix here but, not only does the Now Time Line "stick" on occasion but it also disappears. Most aggravating.

Does this happen when playing from measure 01:01:000 or at any point in the project?

This happens at any point in the project. If I can't get this to work, I'll look into another interface.

Well... Thought I'd post an update here in case others run across the same problem.
I just couldn't get the Mbox2 mini to work on my Sonar X2a system, so I bought a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Boom...everything works great in Sonar.
Now I'm trying to get it to work with Pro Tools 9HD. So far not able to. Focusrite says it will work with PT9.

I know this is a bit late. I recently acquired and Mbox 2 Mini. Playhead would stick. I disabled the "UserHardwareSamplePosition" in the configuration file in the Audio section of Preferences. Work like a charm now.
