    No controller will produce audio.  However, it does in other programs.  I have done nothing differently than I have in the past and yet this.  There must be a setting somewhere.  I have installed/re-installed many times to no avail.
    Thanks Rick

    SONAR: Get Started

    Initial Audio Setup
    Initial setup and configuration of SONAR. Covers setup of audio interface, [..]

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but when I follow this video, as soon as I choose the ASIO driver and either click on "Apply" or click on "OK" and reopen the Options => Audio menu, I can't find any thing under the "Drivers" tab (it's empty).

    If I just follow this video, initially it looks like I do have my UA-1G, but as soon as I click "OK", it's gone and Sonar give's me this message:

    "The following audio output devices used by this project are not available. You may reassign them to any other available device, or click OK to accept the default assignments below.

    Click CANCEL to retain the original output assignments. (These outputs will remain silent until reassigned to an available output)."

    And then there's nothing to choose from.

    With the "MME 32-bit" driver I can see and use my UA-1G USB sound card for input and output, with ASIO, I've got no input, nor output. I'm also not sure why my speakers or Digital Audio (S/PDIF) disapear as output drivers when I select ASIO, they're there when I select MME.

    What am I doing wrong?

    This is my setup:

    SONAR LE (8.5.1.17)
    USB Audio Interface UA-1G

    OS:               Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
    Processor:    Intel SU4100 @ 1.30 GHz (dual core)
    Memory:      3 GB
    Harddisk:    40 GB SSD

    I want the ASIO driver since I read it's the best driver and since all other drivers give me "dropouts" on audio tracks (presuplied and selfrecorded).

    I hope someone can help me with this.

    I have resolved this issue:

    I'm not sure what happened, but somehow, my Roland drivers have been replaced by Windows drivers.

    Before I bought this UA-1G I bought an amp and a mic (and some cables) to do some recordings on my netbook, but that gave me a lot of static noise and I went back to the music store to complain about it.

    Another guy at the store explained to me I shouldn't use an amp (which was recommended to me by another guy at the same shop), so they took the amp back and sold me the UA-1G. Because I wasn't sure I was buying something which would work without extra noise, I took my netbook with me and tested everything out in the shop.

    The guy redirected me to the Roland site for the driver (although there was a CD/DVD with the package) and I did install it.

    I just checked the driver, but every file was from Microsoft, not one was from Roland!?!

    I tried to install the driver again, but it complained that the driver was already installed .. although the driver files say something else .. strange.

    I removed the driver, went through the reboot sequence and installed the driver again and now I can choose the ASIO driver and see my UA-1G soundcard under the drivers tab where I couldn't see it before.

    And when I check my driver files, some are from Microsoft, some are from Roland (I guess that's normal?).

    So if people have this issue too, check you driver, if you can't find a file from Roland, I *guess* Windows screwed up and you need to reinstall it.

    I had hoped this would resolve my DROPOUT's also, but as of now, it doesn't. As an example, I can't play "TUTORIAL5.cwp".

    I'll try different buffer sizes like the video recommends and see if that will resolve it, but since I have an SSD disk, I doubt if this will make any difference.

    Are there other things I can try?

    That made more difference as I expected. I got it wrong. With 64 KB Playback I/O Buffer Size things look more promissing.

    I can play TUTORIAL5.cwp now, but TUTORIAL8.cwp gives no sound, but I guess that's another problem.

    Hi Zev,

    What type of driver do you have SONAR set to use? ASIO, WDM, MME? You may not have it set to the correct "driver model".
