Addictive Drums Not Coming Through Speakers

This has to be something easy that I'm missing. I just started playing with addictive drums this week but it seems pretty straight forward. What I'm trying to do right now is take an old drum track and use addictive drums after I've already used drum replacer. I've created my addictive drums track and dragged the drum replacer track into it and I can even edit in the midi screen. Also I see the volume levels going up and down for the addictive drums track too. I just don't hear the track playing. The track output is set to the same as all other working tracks. I'm wondering if my setup isn't correct when I click and drag addictive drums into the track window. I have the boxed checked for MIDI Source and First Synth Audio Output when I bring AD in.
 
I'm new to both sonar and AD so I'm thinking it is something I'm not doing correct.
 
Thanks in advance!

    Lots of possible causes.  Most common for me has been not having the synth (AD) routed properly.  If you've created a MIDI track make sure its output goes to AD, and AD's output is routed to your audio track(s) (maybe a single track for your drums, or multiple if you have it set to a track for each kit piece.)
     
    A bunch of obvious things - the ones that usually get me:
    Make sure no other tracks are solo'd. 
    Make sure the track you want to hear isn't Muted, or doesn't have the Volume slider set to Zero.
    Make sure your Input Echo for the track is set to On.
    Make sure your output from AD isn't Muted within the AD synth.

    Thanks Morgan. I just figured it out and wanted to let anyone else know that it mapped the midi to a key that didn't have a drum sound associated with it. I had to move the midi points up to the kick and voila!
     
    Now if I could only figure out how to see the bars in my view.

    don't remember excactly, but iic it's pressing the buttons at the bottom of the AD screen.....at least that fixed it for me a while ago.
