It's all me me me with 0404

Actually I was wet behind the ears back them, still a bit damp now, so ticking a few boxes or sharing drivers may or may not work. I can't recall what I tried. I'm sure though that I left the internal to do the windows and the 0404 to do Sonar. It was the downside to the card without a doubt.

What he's experiencing is a pain. It freezes, the infamous 1-2 second freeze, and you're locked and then a little later it'll BSOD. You have reboot regardless.

The USB 0404 doesn't have the patchmix stuff.

All sound cards and interfaces, softwares and Windows have settings that need proper  values.

It's wrong to blame without basis.

I have the E-mu 1820M, which does have Patchmix. The point I made still stands though: does the sample rate on the card match the sample rate in your ASIO settings?

For the card:
 Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound -->Manage Audio Devices --> E-mu card --> Properties --> Advanced tab


For Sonar:
 Options --> Audio --> General tab --> Sampling Rate

In the Cakewalk docs cited, they do state

"We're using 44.1 kHz, but if you plan to do all of your recordings at a higher sample rate you will want to choose it now."

The EMU cardsa are really powerful and flexible, "selfish" is a misnomer.

Even Cakewalk acknowledges it in the same doc:

"While this flexibility is really powerful, it does require knowledge of PatchMix DSP's routing scheme in relation to SONAR in order to take full advantage of it. In this guide we're going to cover the basics of getting input and output to and from SONAR using PatchMix DSP".

Baseless blaming preserves ignorance and ignorance is cause of suffering.

It doesn't use patchmix btw - can we get that point sorted.

Yep, ignore the Patchmix stuff and simply compare your card settings against your Sonar settings. When I said Control Panel earlier, I meant the Windows Control Panel.

btw who are we answering? The OP seems to have long gone. His symptoms are because it was not set to share. That EMU card won't work if you have it set to work as the internal card and as the DAW card. Trust me. It may work if you check the shared drivers box, I can't recall that bit but if you just set it up to do both jobs without any alteration then it clashes.

This is not necessarily correct.

EMU drivers are generally multi-users..Sonar has no control of that capability when the ASIO driver is multi-user per-se.
