X2 No Longer Sees My Sound Card

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I should mention before the virus my card was rock solid.
My specs are in my signature, but I was running in ASIO mode.
I don't have anything else running when I launch SONAR.
The audio device window in Sonar is blank. It doesn't even see the integrated MS sound card.
My sound card is set to be the timing master.
I'll see if I can switch from ASIO to WDM and see if that helps. 
Q: If none of the above work, what are the X2 repair options? If I try to install it over the top of my current instance, does it offer a repair option?
Q: I'm sorry, I don't understand these: Try renaming AUD.INI (google for details).
Don't use ASIO4ALL (just in case you have it).

Do you know what the potential risks are for re-personalizing? Will it have any negative impact on any previously recorded projects?

I'm guessing a reinstall is a more radical proceedure, right?

I'll check the link, but really don't want to mess up any of my previous projects.

Thanks!

Re-personalizing does not touch projects. It does reinitialize the config files so you might want to copy out the ini files from your user directory to a safe place. Then they will be available as references.
 
Reinstall is a bigger change. This is why I would try re-personalizing first.
 
Either way, nothing happens to your projects.
 
Regardless, after all the assurances in the world, don't forget to backup.

Ok, great. I will definitely copy the ini file and do a backup.
I'm really hoping this works. This is a relatively new DAW and this is the first major issue I've had.
Needless to say, I upgraded my AV software!
 
Thanks,

Unfortunately I'm unable to read signatures right now with my view of the forums so I still have no ideas of specs and can't point you to the latest drivers. I would recommend uninstalling driver software (whether you are on latest or not) and reinstalling with the latest. Try AUD.INI first though.

I understand--the mobile version thing.
 
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and am using X2 Pro 64-bit. I have an Echo Layla 3G with the latest drivers for my OS. (Rock solid on my prior DAW, rock solid on this DAW before this).
After updating the sound card drivers didn't work, I uninstalled the sound card from device manager, did a reboot and did a new install. NI-negative impact.
 
Still don't know what 'Try AUD.INI first though' means. I'll do a complete fresh OS install as a last resort. Having to reinstall all of my software would take so much time, it's worth me exhausting all other options first.
 
Thanks!

Renaming the AUD.ini in your SONAR user directory and starting SONAR will rebuild the AUD.ini file.
 
The re-personalization described above also resets the AUD.ini and the rest of the config files.

Got it. Thanks.

Hey Razor I see you have an ADK DAW. Why don't you call them up. They have tech support for free if I'm not mistaken.

He he. I called them first. Since it's virus related, I'm trying to resolve it myself first. I did get an AV recommendation from them though.
 
Thanks!

And there was just a thread asking about who has their DAW on the internet and who doesn't, This just re confirms my stay off the net philosophy. 
 
I'll toss another bone, If it were me, I'd order a 128 GB or 256 GB SSD drive. Do your fresh install onto that without touching your original OS drive. 
 

I submitted a ticket for this very issue.  Initially thought X3 just lost contact with my interface, but turns out I had lost ASIO functionality.  Experimented and found WDM drivers still worked.  It happened out of the blue, hadn't messed with my system at all.
I remembered that there had been a significant windows update so I restored my computer to before the updates and it solved the problem.  With a recent virus, who knows...but it may be worth a try.

Well, I didn't have a restore point that went back far enough before the virus to do the restore, so I did a factory restore with the Paragon software that ADK included with the DAW and I'm back in business.
 
I had to do a lot of software installs, and have some to go, but the system is rock solid and my sound card works perfectly, so I'm good.
 
After I get my DAW setup with everything the way I want it, I'm going to create a new backup capsule so if I ever have to do another restore, I won't have to reinstall all of my software again.
 
Since I have the storage, I also increased the amount of disc space that will hold my restore points so I'll be able to hold a longer history.
 
Thanks again everyone for the help. I'm glad I was in the writing phase of my tune when all this happened. Hey, I even just bought the upgrade from X2 to X3 for $60 bucks while I was at it!
