I'm feeling really ripped off already with the audio interface that I brought (Tascam US-2x2), nothing but hassles. Anyway at least the sales guy raved about the software that came with it.... and here I am.
I've got all my audio out working except sonar. Starting to feel its a real lemon and I should just give up but surely there must be something somewhere that I have missed that is hidden away in a stupid corner that is preventing any audio out from this software.
 
I generally find the better software is, the harder it is to do something simple. Its always puzzled me why simple things can only be simple in limited software.
 
Before I give up on cakewalk as being over-complicated-for-no-reason-rubbish I want to see if its just me misunderstanding something or missing something and I really would be missing out on a great thing.
 So who's up for the task? I would really appreciate it whether I get it working or not if someone could spare some time to jump into discord with me and help me out.
 
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read this and give a suggestion or 2.

What version of Sonar are you using?  The LE version that came with the Tascam?

yes the sonar le

this is what I get when I load up but the menu doesn't show a driver model option.

setup instructions for Tascam US-2x2 and SONAR X1 LE (the config is the same for SONAR X3 LE)

Start here and make sure ASIO is selected

 
Then go here.  Uncheck everything in both sections, then select the TASCAM in the output section followed by the TASCAM in the input section

 
Click [Apply], then verify that the TASCAM is set for the Timing Masters

 
The last steps are to make sure that your Master is routed to the TASCAM out and that you have audio in a track that is routed to Master.
 
 
 

think I see the issue.

its blank.

Next question, why is it blank and how to I get the tascam unit into this list?
Sonar is the only thing that doesn't work right now. The drivers and software for the unit are up to date as the unit is only 1 week old and I installed the drivers/software from the official site then.

The Tascam ASIO audio driver needs to be installed or reinstalled. The SONAR does not see the driver. Windows and audio playback software typically do not use the ASIO driver so this may be why they work and SONAR does not. You could try to repersonalize SONAR by holding the CTRL and SHIFT keys. This will reinitialize the SONAR setup.

Heres why the "jump into discord" thing would be helpful. lol.
I downloaded and installed the driver+software package on the official site. If theres a specific thing I need to install to get this to work that isn't on the official site, do you have a link?
According to windows device manager its all installed and up to date. This is why I'm getting lost here, everything works except sonar. Maybe that ASIO isn't included in the driver/software available from tascam. IDK here this is out of my depth.
 
*edit*
Ctrl+shift still popped up the same error.
