Sounds like one of the windows updates broke your ability to stream audio. Have you tried system recall? Going back to before it was broke? Then you can add the updates (a few at a time) till you find the culprit.
I don't have any recall points and I can't reinstall my OS, because I'm using it for work and it will require weeks(or even months) to return everything to the same state. And I think that Sonar can stream audio, because it works fine with sound until restart project and it also can stream audio from libraries on drive C:

I'm still getting freezes, when I try to browse disk D: in media browser.
have you checked your D drive for errors ?
I know it might not solve all your issues here but typically when opening a drive causes a crash, the disk is to blame.
like I said it might not be your whole problem but it might be contributing, especially if your streaming your audio files from that disk (Disk D)
I used chkdsk and I can see that my drive D: is fine. I also tried to copy some media files from D:\XXX\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Content\Audio Library to the drive C: and I can play it fine from C:. Sonar isn't crashes, it just freezes and starts using CPU very intensive, which means that it continue doing something in a cycle and can't exit this cycle, which is causing hangs. Maybe there is a log file for Sonar, where I can see errors?
