Sonar 6 HS with Reason3.0 suddenly no sound. Please help.

Hi everyone. Thanks for reading this. I'll try to be brief. I have been using Reason 3.0 for years along with Sonar HS 6. I use Toneport as my interface, also for 3 years. I have no problems really to speak of until today. I use windows xp service pack 3 along with the above. Today, when I brought up a song as I have done 50 times or so in the past, I can see both programs as usual, but only the Sonar is moving as it should. I'm talking about the line that moves through the song. The Reason line never starts, while the Sonar line moves as it should. In addition, there is no sound coming from headphones or monitors. Neither program is producing any sound. I can use Reason by itself, without Sonar just fine. So far, I have not been able to use Sonar 6 by itself-but then, I never have in the past. I have done nothing whatsoever to alter these programs. It just began today. Under Reason: When I look under preferences-audio, It says I have no sound card. When I look under preferences-midi, it shows that I am using Line 6 Toneport which is what I have been using for years. Noteaudio I see that my Line 6 sound card is present This same thing occurs in all my Reason/Sonar songs which leads me to believe that this is a Rewire problem. I don't know if this reasoning is correct though. I don't know if this reasoning is correct though. After several years, I still do not really understand Sonar 6 and how to quickly get to the bottom of things. Under Sonar: I have looked around under options on sonar and as far as I can tell, everything is listed correctly, meaning that my ASIO driver and interface are there with the green check by it. When I play the song (any song for that matter), with Sonar only, I hear nothing where I once could hear Sonar only without the Reason (midi). My midi inputs and outputs are listed with "x" in the boxes. ( Toneport Interface and Axiom 49 keyboard ). If I go to insert menu on Sonar 6, Rewire is grayed out. But, I don't usually bring up the songs this way anyway, as it has never worked correctly to begin with. Normally, and successfully, I bring up Sonar 6 first and then go to Reason and bring that up. However, this no longer works after about 3 years of doing it this way. I'm not sure what else to say at this point, I'm just hoping that this problem rings some sort of bell with someone. Please let me know if you need more info about this and I'll get it out. Thanks for reading this, please help if you can. bob

a couple of things - first, if you're using Firefox the hard carriage returns do not work in this forum.  using IE will resolve that.

next - if Reason does not show you have a soundcard then that's a problem.  I don't have reason, so I don't know how to tell you to troubleshoot that.

so are you saying that you use Reason and SHS6 both in standalone modes?  not using rewire?  how do you route audio from Reason into sonar?  I'm not following there.

yes, I'm certain that reason would need a soundcard option to work, just like sonar does.  have you tried rebooting?  sometimes windows looses USB devices and they have to be "reinitialized".  you could even try unplugging the UX1 and replugging it back in.

you don't have the UX1 plugged into a USB hub do you?  it should be in a dedicated USB port and preferably in the rear, not the front (the rear ports have more current available since they are not on a "header" but directly on the motherboard).

did you recently do any windows updates? 

I do not think that sonar is the problem at all here, I think it's got to do with the UX1 and its drivers or interaction with its drivers and something else in windows.  the UX1 should not be a pain to get up and working again if you unplug and replug it.  that should be the equivalent of "rebooting" for it.

ok, look in sonar at OPTIONS>AUDIO and make sure there are drivers listed for the PLAYBACK anD RECORDING DEVICE(S).

if not, and if you can't select the UX1 from the pull down menus, then you need to run the wave profiler at the bottom of that window.

yeah, actually PLAYBACK and RECORDING DEVICES and PLAYBACK and RECORDING TIMING MASTERs are the same thing, just called different things accoridng to the version of sonar you have.  I think they changed the name of it in S8.5 or maybe 8 and since you have SHS6, I should have remembered they called it TIMING MASTER instead of DEVICE.

glad you got it going!  make some music Bob!!!

glad you're working again Bob!
