No sure what I've done here. Opened Sonar today but it's can't see my audio drivers. Preferences>Audio>Devices is empty. Neither my onboard soundcard or my Quad capture is showing. The control panel for the quad capture opens fine, and it plays youtube and system sounds, and strangely it's midi is showing in the Midi Devices. Several re-boots and reconnects of the Quad Capture. I tried deleting aud.ini.
 
Checked x3 Producer and it's the same, so I don't think rolling back to Cambridge will help, and Dorchester has been fine.
 
I'm a bit stumped

Just disconnected the soundcard with sonar running, and a warning box tells me I disconnected the Audio/Midi device, but then I could see the midi, just not the audio, so it's probably responding to this.

Can't get my head round this, I must have clicked something, or something

Is Windows Sound Card properties seeing the device?
 
My first hunch is to try reinstalling the AI drivers. Could also try shifting to another mode and back, but not sure if that would help (since SONAR is not even seeing it).
 
Last resort would be backing to a restore point, but I would try simply re-installing the drivers for it first.

"Is Windows Sound Card properties seeing the device?"
I thought the windows soundcard was the device, well one of them?
 
By reinstalling the AI drivers, do you mean the Quads, or onboard soundcard, being they are both missing in sonar but  working fine out of it.
 
Restore point isn't an option at the moment, as it would take weeks to re-install everything since that point. The internet where I am now is truly shafted.
 
Edit: Fixed
 
Reinstalled Quad drivers, when that didn't work I deleted the Aud.ini again, but this time all of them, not just SPlat's.
Internal soundcard is still missing though, maybe it was previously and I hadn't paid attention to it.

Hi Kamikaze,
 
I use the Q-C also, and I have never seen my laptop's internal sound card appear in Preferences > Audio > Devices. And to be honest, even if it did appear there I would never use it.
 
Thanks for posting the picture of the driver settings... Made me realise that I hadn't updated my Q-C to the latest driver version or bios system settings...

I think because I never used it either I never noticed. I'm sure it used to show in other laptops before. This is still a new laptop so I am less familiar with it.
 
Pretty happy with the Quad, after M-Audio FW 1814 did my head in for years, just wish the headphone and the main out were seperate levels, otherwise serves me well

I'm reasonably happy too, at least now I found a workaround for a major problem when using the front panel inputs for DI'ing my guitars... I don't know if it's just my unit, but I was getting an awful feedback loop set up for some reason, when using any of the distortion type effects in either Guitar Rig 5 or TH2.
 
I happened to have an old Roland MMP-2 mic preamp, which comes with a SPDIF digital output. I connect that to the Q-C's SPDIF input and all is good now.
 
As I said, I could never find out if it was just a problem with my unit. And I wasn't going to buy another sound device when the Q-C worked well for most of my requirements.
 

I use the Markbass more than TH2, but I'm more for soft distortions if anything. I've not had any feedback issues. I can't think of any suggestions.

Here's the thread I posted on the subject:-
