The inputs have to be selected in preferences and an audio track using the inputs would need to be added to the project and input echo enabled on the track to monitor the inputs until the track is recorded. If SONAR is setup for ASIO driver mode (found in
Preferences > Audio > Playback and Recording), you will not be allowed to enable the inputs while another device is selected. In order to use the HPD 20 as an input device while sending audio to the audio capture device SONAR will need to use one of the other driver modes.
