Audio device drivers unchecked by Sonar

Hi all,
 
I am using a Beringer XR18 as the USB interface with SONAR X1 LE to simultanely live record 16 channels (8 ASIO input drivers).
Everything worked like a charm.
 
Since one of the last reboots (with no known changes) of the latptop I can only use 4 input drivers in the audio device settings at the same time.
That means :

• ALL drivers/channels are shown in the audio/device section (so the driver should work)
• I can check all the 8 comboboxes in the list I need (they are not grayed out)
• when I apply the settings the dialog disappears for a short moment and comes back
• but now in the device list only the first 4 devices stayed checked, the subsequent (from the 5th) have been unchecked by Sonar

 
I already re-installed the Beringer drivers several times and reset the Sonar audio settings - the same behaviour ....
 
I'm absolutely perplexed, any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance
Gerhard

Will you please check Windows Recording Devices & Playback devices once?
I am not sure as I don't have this Audio Device.

Hi,

thanks for the answers so far, but - sorry - there was no solution.

@mudgel :
You are right about the naming conventions.
Before my problem occured I could use the mono channels from "ASIO Driver In 1 Left" (=Channel 1) to "ASIO Driver In 15 Right" (=Channel 16).
So I had to select eight checkboxes Inputs (1/3/5/7/9/11/13/15) to use 16 mono channels.
And that worked perfectly !

But my problem is that I cannot select all input channels anymore since some changes in the system (?) I don't know.

• I'm selecting "1/3/5/7/9/11/13/15"
• then I press "Apply"
• SONAR shows "1/3/5/7" checked and "9/11/13/15" unchecked

 
Any idea ?
 
Thanks

Hi tenfoot,

a good idea ...
The XR18 Setup lets me choose between "2/2 ch" (Stereo Sum only) and  "18/18 ch" (thats what I need) mode.

When I switch between them Sonar reacts like expected and shows me either one stereo channel or nine.
But in 18/18-mode it accepts only four stereo channels to be selected at the same time.

When I use another DAW (eg Reaper) I can use all the channels.
So imho it must be Sonar related ...
 
Is it a limitation in Sonar X1 LE ?
But why should it have worked until some days ago ?
 
Any other idea ?
 
Thanks
Gerhard

Hi,
 
@tenfoot : ok, I understand, but aren't 8 IO channels <> 16 mono (that's what I was using) ?
 
In the meanwhile I completely restructured my system - with no better results.
So I gave up ... and moved to another DAW that Behringer provides with the XAir18 - it works fine (and gives me a clear error message, when I select an interface, that is unusable).
 
Thanks to all that spent time with my problem.
Have a good recording-time
