If this occurs when starting up SONAR with no project, and you have no general audio problems (e.g. you can watch a YouTube video) then the most likely cause is a plugin is failing during the scan.
Hold the SHIFT key down while starting SONAR. That enables Safe Mode and will bypass the scan. If SONAR comes up OK, you can then run the scan manually and see which plugin is hanging.
If the scan crashes or hangs, you may see its pathname in the progress dialog, but if not you can enable the scan log. Go to Preferences->VST Settings. Hold the SHIFT key down and click the Reset button, then hold the SHIFT key down and click the Scan button.
This will create a log file (c:\users\{your_name}\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Logs\VSTScan.log) that'll enable you to zero in on which plugin is causing problems.

All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
