I've always struggled with this issue... If I drag an audio clip that was exported with loop data embedded in it, SONAR won't allow me to disable it. It stays as a groove-clip no matter what.
 
Why is this?
 
Is there a way to import audio without loop data?
 
Is there a way to turn off looping on 'pre-looped' audio?
 
EDIT:
It seems SONAR doesn't allow any audio clip properties (such as tempo and looping) to be changed on 32-bit ACID wave files.
Note... FL Studio exports ACID files up to 32-bit.

Hi. If I am not mistaken, Ctrl + L turns Groove Clip Looping on / off.
All the best.
Edit: Or you could do a bounce to clip.

How are you attempting to disable it? You should be able to right-click a clip and disable Groove Clip Looping via menu option, as well. I believe any acidized WAV or REX file you import will default to a Groove Clip.

No shortcut, no menu, no checkbox is doing anything to the clip. It's locked as it is and the audio clip is useless because of this.

Try "Bounce to Clip(s)" on the Track View Clips menu

Here's a video clip:

It's the little things like this that can really convince you to try other DAWs.

I hate it when that is my only option.
What's the point if something that is supposed to work, isn't working?!
 
Thanks, guys!

What type of file is it? I couldn't tell from your video.
 
Another option is to freeze the track...

It's an audio file that I exported from FL Studio. FL Studio exports wave files with loop points.

It looks like you should have some options there.
 
"When exporting .WAV files from FL Studio deselect the 'Save ACIDized' and 'Save slice markers' options as this is normally the cause for .WAV files created with more slice markers than the PropertyHandler can extract."

If that doesn't work, you could export to another lossless format like FLAC or OGG.
