Well given your reply this'll be my last in this thread, but if everything is "setup how it should be", it'd be working wouldn't it? So obviously it isn't "all set up how it should be" and unfortunately I flunked the mind-reading class of DAW setup diagnosis.


Here's a tip for you in case anyone has more patience than I do...... If you want to get help on here you'll need to help yourself a little bit. I even gave you a list of questions to answer in case you weren't sure what info we'd need and all you do is come back with yet another smart-arsed answer.

Good luck...................

Uh, that's the problem? It isn't working?
My god.

I had a similar problem to yours not so long ago, have you tried hitting the speakers hard with a hammer or with with some sort of similar heavy instrument, thats can sometimes have suprisingly good results, two or three blows can often be required though!

Let me know how you get on?

The reason they are asking about what configuration you have for your computer is that sometimes what you have for soundcard may have something to do with the fact that you are getting no sound. It may be that you are running a processor too low powered to properly process the stuff you are doing.

Is it a laptop? Or a desktop? What brand? That type of thing...

For example...my computer configuration is as follows...

I'm currently using my Dell  Inspiron 1520 with a Centrino Duo 1.5GHz processor and 4 Gb ram. I am using -on this laptop an external mixer(Peavey usb6) as my soundcard.

I can confirm that this works perfectly on my system.
 
Although the same result can be arrived at much more quickly with a pick-axe.
 
 

well, based on your problem you either

a) need a Soundblaster

or

b) you need 64 bit! it matters!

I'm currently trying to complete a music assignment on Sonar and the sound isn't working.
I'm not very familiar with Sonar, but to my knowledge it should be working.
I've inserted a synth etc, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Take a look at your audio output settings.

Have you selected your sound card outputs in SONAR?


Good luck.

best regards,

I think we're being trolled.......

On the slight of chance we're not, try this:

I said I have never really used Sonar, everything is set up how it should be but there is no sound.

1. How do you know everything is set up "how it should be"
2. Did you do it yourself or was it a friend?
3. How much did you pay for the software?

Perhaps this is the OP's problem: when inserting a soft synth, if I don't select "simple instrument track" I don't get sound. I can see the MIDI activity but no sound. 
If I go to "inspector" I see the out going to the soft synth but I don't see where the soft synth is routed (ie Master). 
I always just select "simple instrument track" but I wonder if this is what the OP is seeing.
I've never bothered to investigate further as to why I can't find where it's routed so maybe this is the time.
Thanks very much,
Randy
