my laptop speakers stop working (help)

Hello, I write because I've been experiencing a problem lately with sonar 8. I am new in this program, and I am trying to learn how to use it. But now when I connect my MIDI cable to my laptop and open sonar, my speakers stop working. I can't even open any audio file out of Sonar. And in sonar, when I press my keyboard, my laptop gives me the signal that it is recognizing it, but no sound will come out. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum!
     
    It would be good to have much more info to start looking for answers.
    Your laptop specs, interface/soundcard, operating system, what is connected where....
    A laptop surely hasn't got a MIDI input, so you're using an adapter cable?
     
    What kind of keyboard? If it's sending MIDI, you need to have a soft synth inserted to play the sounds.
    Have you done the tutorials and read the manual about using soft synths? You do know that MIDI has no sound, don't you? It's like digital sheet music, control data only.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

    Sure. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro C650, running Window 7. My soundcard is a Conexant SmartAudio HD. I'm using a PC USB to MIDI keyboard Interface Converter Cable Chord, and my keyboard is a Yamaha PSR-195. What happens is the following: I open a project and my devices, the soft synths, won't sound. Then I close it and reopen it and sounds, and while using it, at some point, sound just stops coming out, and I need to restart Sonar 8 again. It is not normal
