You don't say what you're using for a sound card, but I would suggest starting here with this Audio Hardware Setup Guide.

You may also need to run Sonar 7 in Compatibility Mode.

Also, make sure that nothing else is running that might be occupying your sound card other than Sonar.

Sorry its an old E-mu 0404 sound card with external jacks fibreoptic leads 24 bit

It's on the list, so hopefully you're seeing what I see and it works for you...
 
To configure your Cakewalk software, please do the following:

• Click Options > Audio > Advanced
• From the 'Driver Mode' dropdown select ASIO
• If the 'Driver Mode' selector is not available make sure the box next to “Always use mme interface” is NOT checked.
• Click Apply and then OK, if prompted restart the program
• Next, Click Options > Audio:
  • On the Drivers tab, make sure your E-MU 404 card is selected under both inputs and outputs. If it appears grayed out, deselect all drivers, in both inputs and outputs, then select your E-MU 404 card. If changes are made, click OK and if prompted, restart the program
  • On the General tab, make sure one of your E-MU 404 drivers is selected as 'Playback Timing MASTER'. It is best to select the output that you have speakers or headphones connected to. Click OK and if prompted restart the program.
• Finally, all audio playback will occur from your audio device. Make sure you have your speakers or headphones connected to its outputs.

i will try it ,thanks.

From my memory of the 0404. Cards there is a little complexity in setting up its internal routing through its PatchMix app.. I'm sure google will provide you with some specific help as you'll probably need it.

I believe the answers are on pages 4-5
