VB-Audio Virtual cable and SONAR Platinum

I want to send audio to another programme from SONAR, so I installed VB-Audio. While Windows sees it as a device in Device Manager and the other programme can see it as an input, SONAR does not see it as a device for audio output.
 
Any ideas anyone has would be much appreciated.

Actually,  just looking their website you can run asio but will need to install 'asio bridge'. Wasapi might be worth a try first.

Hi. I just tried WASAPI and yeah the "Cable" did appear as an output. I set it as the output device, but even though I set it as an input on the other programme, (an Audio/MIDI to visuals generator) nothing happens. I also tried Ethernet MIDI and MIDI data, but again nothing at the other end. :(

VB Cable and Voicemeeter all from the same family, take a bit of getting your head around their workings. I don't use them often but find I always have to watch the videos on their site to come to grips with it all.

Have you done that? That's about my best suggestion at the moment.

I'm sorry I don't have the time at the moment to go through this more thoroughly with you.

Good solution Oldnick - less 3rd party routing and loopbe is rock solid. You could use Bome midi translator as a midi patch bay combined with loopbe30 to send a single output to both places, but again these are costly programs. Really handy piece of kit to have though!

Haha - my favourite side issue Nick!  Layla on the left was a rescue pup, but we suspect she is a BC cross. Indie on the right is purebred, but has a recessive merle gene (kind of a dog half albino), hence she is a bit whiter than most BC's and has very pale skin. Brilliant dogs - but aren't they all? 
 
I'm sure loopbe single is up to the task as you say. I only bought loopbe thirty after a couple of years when I needed to control more software/devices. With regards Bome it is much more than just a midi patchbay. It will recieve ANY type of command (Keyboard, midi etc) translate it to any other type, then send it wherever you like (and to as many sources as you like). It also has zero system impact. If you do ever need to control any software externally it is hard to beat.

I do this and use voicemeeter and not virtual cable. It does ASIO very well. What I use it for is making Sonar training videos. You can get the audio from Sonar mixed with the audio from a local mic on your computer to send to your video capture program so you can comment on what you're doing while also hearing the sonar audio. 
 
In my studio I have an RME UFX interface, I can plug that into the USB on my laptop and it works perfectly with audio from sonar routed directly to the ASIO configured interface. 
 
When I unplug the UFX, my sonar reverts to the voicemeeter ASIO interface which routes things to my onboard audio card. So sonar doesn't have to be reconfigured to work with my onboard sound card. 
 
If I want to doing a short video, I start up the free version of camstudio and use voicemeeter to route audio from my local mic and mix it with sonar's audio output to send it to camstudio. Then I can use camstudio to capture the video with all the audio. 
 
I don't know if you can do all that with virtual cable, but with voicemeeter you can. As someone else said, it does take a bit to get your head around it and get it all configured. But I can successfully go from my RME ASIO interface and back to my local sound card, mix in my local mic for video capture and never have to reconfigure sonar, sans once in a while needing to pull down the master output and send it to the voicemeeter output.

Is there a headspin smiley? :D
 
No there is no way you could do what you are doing with voicemeeter with VB Cable, as VB Cable is just a MIDI router.
 
I am going to save all this stuff in case I need to do what everybody is DOING here! :D But right now my needs are much simpler and I am just just getting back into it and playing about. Software "gear" is so much cheaper and more powerful than hardware gear, and I love lots of gear and what it can do, but I seriously need to look at core values....SONAR and music....well....and maybe...:)
