Sonar Pro and Rocksmith Real Tone guitar cable

I was wondering if anybody has the Real Tone cable working in Sonar Pro. All the other apps on my PC see the device and work no problem. For some reason, the cable doesn't show up in the Device list in Sonar Preferences. I want to run my guitar through TH3 but it's Level adjustment doesn't pick anything up. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi, and welcome to this forum. Do you have the latest drivers for it? Which version of windows do you have?

    Hi and Thank you!
    I have Windows 7 64bit. Yes, I have the latest drivers. Windows does recognize it. It is the only input device that I have connected right now and it is configured properly. Everything else recognizes it except Sonar. Thanks for your help.

    Try a different Driver Mode in SONAR Preferences > Audio > Playback and Recording

    Thanks!
    I managed to get it to show in the Input Drivers list using MME in Driver Mode section but TH3 still doesn't see it when I go to Input Level Adjustment as it's not picking up anything.

    Try enabling input echo on the track. I doubt the MME driver mode will be usable for real time playing through the DAW. The latency will be too high.

    I was able to get a Realtone cable to work in Sonar using WDM/KS driver mode.  It showed up as USB Input Device.  I had to set the audio buffer size to 792 (18.0ms) in order to get clear sound, but it worked just fine with TH3.   **Edit:  The latency was surprisingly good.

    Hope this helps.

    I also tried ASIO4ALL and can report that it does not work with the Realtone cable.

    Unfortunately, none of that worked. I can get Sonar to recognize it but TH3 still doesn't see it. I'm totally new to Sonar as I have only had it for a week now.

    The problem seems to be with TH3. I have a demo version of Bias FX and that works just fine.

    It sounds like you may not have your TH3 track configured correctly.

    After applying the WDM/KS settings I mentioned earlier, open the Preferences>Audio>Devices tab and enable the USB Input Device.  Hit apply and close preferences. 
     
    Open a project and insert an audio track.  Select the USB Input as the track's input source, and enable the input echo button for that track.  At this point you should be able to hear your guitar and see audio levels coming in on Sonar's track meters.  

    To add TH3, just load it into the track's FX region as you would any other VST effect.

    When I use WDM/KS, I get an error message. The only Driver Modes that will show the Rocksmith cable are MME and WASAPI but WASAPI doesn't like the Rocksmith cable and I get error message with that as well. I did get TH3 to work using the MME. However I can't hear anything until I turn Track Record on and off first then it's fine. TH3 is OK, but Bias FX is much better. Thanks a lot for all your help guy's. Much appreciated.
