Lost all sound - Please help!

Hi, I'm not sure what I've done but now none of my projects are playing back with any sound. A few days ago I decided to uninstall Sonar and its components from my computer, including my main solid state drive (120GB), because I was running low on space. I've reinstalled on a partitioned drive (F:) and installed everything (all the non-essential stuff) that the install procedure would allow to that partitioned drive. However, I don't think this is the problem because it was working okay up until last night.
 
Today I backed up my projects folder to an external drive. I also noticed that some of the file location settings were still set to my second partitioned drive (G:), where some of my previous installation was kept. So today I changed all of those (G:) locations to the new install location (F:), except for the projects folder, which I've kept on the G drive (I didn't change any of the locations marked as C:). After having done that, I now have no sound playing back in any of the 4 or 5 different projects that I've checked so far. I can see the meters jumping on the midi tracks, but no meters are moving for any of the audio or bus tracks, and I'm getting no sound. I've tried changing the file locations back to how they were but that still gives me no sound output.
 
Something that seemed strange to me (maybe I'd just never noticed it before):
- Under Audio>Driver Settings, the Playback Timing Master is set to None. Should it be set to something?
 
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, the playback timing master is usually set to your audio interface. If it is set to none, it may mean SONAR cannot find your audio interface.
