Hi many thanks 
 
that certainly has got sound from the pedal to Sonar. the only issue I have now is the the volume of the recording is very low on playback inspite of me setting sound card volume to its max 
I probably need to read a bit more but thanks at least I have sound now 

At all cost, stay away from MME. Its a Windows driver. not going to get you where you want to go.
you need something with lower latency (A delay between the live sound and your soundcard).
You want to choose the ASIO Driver in Sonars preferences under Devices.
Previous Driver versions of this unit were ASIO compliant (Steinberg Audio Stream I/O Interface).
Cant see why this version (Windows 10) would not be.
 
Make sure-
* The device may not perform to its full specs when used with an added USB 2.0 interface card.
* This product cannot be used with a USB 3.0 port that is not compatible with USB 2.0 specification.
* If this product does not work correctly when connected to a USB 3.0 port, you will need to connect it to a USB 2.0 port.
* Even if connected to a USB 3.0 port, the performance of the product will not change.

Hi thanks  for that but I have USB 3.0 and ive checked it is compatible with USB2.0. I now know why Audacity works as its using the MME driver.
I am puzzled why when plugged in to my machine the ME25 is recognised and is in my device manager and is also displayed in the input and output driver sections but just wont let me select them
Im completely stumped by this  ive read the readme file and cant see much in that 
thanks
