Hi:
 
Sonar 8.5 Producer Edition...
 
Suddenly I can't hear anything...
 
When I load any project I get this error message:
"The following tracks and busses are currently assigned to a silent hardware output..."
...Master
 
Happens on any project I open...total silence...
 
Today I downloaded the free trial version of Reaper to try it out...
 
Then I have this problem with Sonar...
 
I'm guessing these 2 are related...how do I fix it?
 
Thanks,
Ed

In the top of your screen in Sonar, go to Edit, then choose Preferences.....go to Audo, devices and check you're soundcard is there
Probably an issue with the soundcard, no big prob.
Maybe in Windows check your soundcard settings too...
 
good luck.

Sorry, I panicked...I just rebooted, and the problem is gone...

With ASIO, it's one program at a time. It can be necessary, but not always, to reboot between using different programs.
