Tascam 16x08 Driver?
First post ever here! Yay! Go me.
I'm running Sonar Platinum on Win10\64. Standard fare Sonar VST's. I have several pieces of midi hardware I can't part with. I also have a Moog Modular and Yamaha CS-80v plugins And a couple of mics thrown in for good measure. <- That was funny.
I have this happy TASCAM 16x08 device to bring all this stuff together, but am having a tough time getting Sonar to "work" consistently. I'll have the whole rig up with all devices working (and playing) as advertised, then the next day, nothing. Zero. No sound. Just the keys on my controller squeaking. Same everything. I suspect the Tascam driver, but don't know the best way to troubleshoot it. I know the sound engine is started, but where to look (besides Focusrite)? I've done the uninstall/reinstall drill a couple of times.
Is there something that I should be looking at in Sonar? I'm not changing any of the interface settings. I'm not changing any anything. One day up, next day down. Just shoot me.
Appreciate any input!
Thanks
Ciao
Peace Out

I use this and it definitely works with SONAR.
First of all, make sure you're in ASIO mode for the driver model. WDM and WASAPI does work but it's flaky compared to ASIO with this interface. After you've selected it, close and re-open SONAR.
Then, make sure the correct I/O is selected in the inputs and outputs section. There should be ticks in the analog ins and outs.
Then, check the MIDI devices to make sure there's ticks in the 16x08 MIDI I/O.
I'm guessing you've done all of this first, but it's worth going over just for safety's sake.
Very important that the 16x08 is powered up before you start SONAR because the next time you start it, it'll default to whatever model it fell back on last time.
Have you got anything else running on your system that may be stealing audio focus? Some media players and, weirdly, some webcam drivers (eg: ones with audio related) can try to steal control of your audio driver.
Are you running the latest 2.x driver and firmware for the 16x08? That adds a few features and stability for some people (it was about the same for me).

Good post, LT!
Another situation that can cause trouble is if you also use the ASIO driver for Windows default sounds. I use the motherboard Realtek audio for Windows and the Tascam ASIO for tunez. I have tried the Mixing driver for Windows while using the ASIO driver for SONAR, but that was problematic. I will switch Windows default to the ASIO driver when I want higher quality audio for a short period, then switch back to the Realtek when done.
EDIT: It would be helpful if you put your system specs in the signature. That will save several questions and back and forths.

Thanks so much for the tips!
There are definitely some things to look into. Correct I/O is probably where I should start. The driver is confusing though, in that Devices shows only odd numbered I/O's (oddly enough). Analog in shows 1,3,5,7,9,11, and 13. Output drivers are 1,3,5, and 7. There are Mixing drivers as well, but they're grayed out. In here, ASIO is the only option. Right now is probably not the best time to come up with some "friendly names" for the drivers. lol
let's see.. Latest Tascam firmware & drivers, check. I am running a TP Link wireless Ethernet adapter on the USB hub. I don't know that it's making much of a difference. I've tried running without it. I'm pretty sure the Windows sounds are also on the ASIO driver. I don't use them for anything but an occasion Cakewalk video.
Thanks again for taking the time to help me sort things out.
I'm guessing there is a place to set up a signature..

Yeah, don't use the Mixer drivers, they're high latency, plus as you saw, you can't select them if you have the regular analog input driver (just one channel of, even) selected.
I've done a friendly rename of mine and it helps a lot. The default names are annoying as hell.
If the 16x08 is the default system device, there's a good chance something else is stealing focus.
Try checking Share Drivers with other programs in SONAR's audio preferences - that will help.
But yeah, check I/O first, and then try the share settings and see how you go I'd say. :)

A few things, You mention a USB hub.. not a good idea. Always use the same USB port and not shared.
I find I can use my Tascam us1641 which is probably identical, for all my audio so I always totally disable all other audio devices including HDMI audio in device manager. This solves the issue of loosing your driver in most cases. Some people get away with using both on board and the ASIO driver but if your having this issue best to do as I have done.

I did that for awhile, but eventually went back and reenabled the MB Realtek device. There were too many times in the way I use my PC that multiple apps wanted/needed access to audio output at the same time, and ASIO isn't shareable unless the driver supports multi-client ASIO (like Steinberg's multi-client wrapper). Most aren't, and the mixing driver just isn't cutting it yet. https://www.steinberg.net...opic.php?f=34&t=48

Grr.. Still not having fun.
I'm not using a USB hub. The wireless adapter is plugged into another port on the computer. I checked the "share with other programs" checkbox. That sounded like a good idea, but still no bueno. The 16x08 is the system default device. Soo, here's a possible clue. On the track level meters for my midi devices, I get two green boxes at the very top of the meter when I hit a key. I rebooted the computer. Now I don't even get the green lights. It's dead.
Gotta say it's breathtakingly awesome when it works. It's just random. I'm at a loss.

When you loose connection go into preferences and see what is selected as the audio device.
The Tascam should show but if there is another device and it is ticked that is your problem.

I apologize if this is a repeat from something above ... You need to go thru all of your power management settings and device manager settings for your USB ports and make sure they are blocked from suspending. I fixed my 16x08 driver problems by replacing them with UMC1820 drivers

I changed the USB suspend setting and performance in system properties. But the driver . . Bob. What up with the driver? What kind of voodoo did you use to find a different driver?

I didn't Carrie. I switched interfaces. I'm using a Behringer UMC1820 instead of the 16x08.

Sooo, Bob, what I hear you saying is . . .
Yeah, sorry guys. It has to be the Tascam driver. I can't imagine Sonar doing something different every time I start it. I've made changes to the system in terms of power management and usb suspend, etc. The audio drivers in preferences are pointing to Tascam AISO 1,3,5,7,9, and 11. That's pretty weird in itself. I'm not ready to give up on it just yet, but I'm pretty discouraged. I was just in Rapture and changed patches only to get a bunch of digital noise and a complete dropout. My Roland XV started dropping notes. I restarted Sonar; now it's telling me there are no audio devices available. WTH.
Sorry for the whining. You are good folks with good ideas; I really appreciate the time and thought you've put into helping me out. I'm going to play a little with the usb hardware then call it good. Or bad, as the case may be. :/

The audio drivers in preferences are pointing to Tascam AISO 1,3,5,7,9, and 11. That's pretty weird in itself.
It's a Sonar thing. It does this with all interfaces. It regards inputs as stereo pairs. So if you create an audio track, Sonar will ask you to pick the Left or Right channel, or both for stereo. I have the 16x08 and am using it successfully on an old laptop. I recently moved from Win7 to Win10 and so far, no major issues. So where to look for possible problem sources... My Playback timing master is set to 1: US-16x08 ASIO Computer OUT 1, Record timing master to 1: US-16x08 ASIO Analog IN 1, Only Analog ins and Computer outs are selected. There are also Mixing driver checkboxes, but they are grey and not selectable on my PC. Do you see a Generic low latency ASIO driver? That appeared after I'd moved from Win7 to Win10 and often Sonar took this instead of my interface. I had to physically disable it before Sonar let me enable my interface. Also, when you lose your interface, is the orange USB lamp on the 16x08 still on? In the Windows audio settings, I see the 16x08 has 2 entries, once as normal, once as mixer. I have the "normal" one set as default device.

That sounds exactly like the problem I was having. Every program change would result in delay comp getting whacked out, requiring a PDC toggle in SONAR to get it corrected. In other DAWs I had to deselect/reselect the 16x08 - almost every program/preset change. I waited thru the driver updates for a fix, but it never came. The problems/symptoms with the 16x08 were consistent across 3 different machines and a variety of software. The problem was non-existent with other interfaces, so I finally gave up and went with the UMC1820 on a whim. I do hear the digital gnat from time to time when changing presets, but it does NOT get confused in the process. It's actually a great interface. You are the first person I've found that describes the same symptoms. I haven't ruled out hardware being a problem, but I'm not happy with the TASCAM process/charges. $60 to diagnose, non-refundable unless I have them do the repair. I pay shipping both ways ... no thanks and no more TASCAM for me.

I must try this. I was thinking of upgrading to the 20x20. What is PDC and how do I toggle it?

PDC is Plug-in Delay Compensation. You can toggle it by clicking the below button twice

Toggling PDC seemed to work - at least when I get digital noise from the Dimension Pro or Rhapsody. I've tried disabling the wireless a couple times, no help. All my I/O looks like what JPeterson described. I checked ouit the device manager and found and disabled a couple of audio drivers, but that didn't help either. I can tell you that the Tascam driver is showing up now when I click the little speaker ion the windows taskbar. I think I'm getting closer. Wish I had more time to devote to this. :/

Sorry It's just sometimes on this forum you try but because there's more than one of us helping it gets real hard to follow what was done and even at this point I'm not sure what is not working.
My understanding was you were loosing the connection to the Tascam when you opened Sonar.
This is a common issue on some systems and the normal fix is to disable all other drivers.
But then you and Bob are going on about what might be an unrelated issue and PDC?? that lost me so therefore I thought my post was a waste of time because I wasn't sure my information was still on topic,, that's all.
So what is still not working? It does sound like your getting things sorted.
If the Tascam is always showing in Windows audio settings that's a good sign.
Sometimes these issues are as dumb as a bad USB cable so step by step. I'm optimistic that there is nothing wrong with the interface and once working you'll be rocking..

I hear ya'. Reading thru this, there are several symptoms. I didn't experience them all; just the latency jumps that toggling PDC fixes.

I'm soo grateful for you guys! I know more about audio drivers than I ever expected to, but it appears everything is working now. YaY! My new anti-psychotic drugs appear to be working too, so we'll just have to wait and see. :)
I think PDC may have played a part in it somehow, because after I toggled it, everything seemed to start working. Maybe it was cosmic. Maybe it was just some giant hallucination. <- Okay, I'll stop trying to be funny now.
THANK YOU!

Just want to (humbly and gratuitously) thank all of you again for your assist. I'm sure it wasn't any one thing that fixed my problem. Since the system was relatively new, some (major) tweaking was in order. Apologies to Tascam for swearing like a sailor at them.

One thing to be aware of - the 20x20 mixer installs itself as default and always comes up in the tool bar - even tho I mostly use a UH-7000 and the 20 x 20 isn't even on. That might be part of your glitch with another US interface.
Re: the TASCAM US 20x20. All the US series use the same "in house" drivers, so if you have a problem w/ a 2x2 you'll have the same problems, most likely. USB is faster - ie. lower latency. lower than 5 ms for me, roundtrip. Good sound quality, line ins, OK digital connectivity (although their sync settings are hard to figure out), flexible if confusing "Total mix" kind of software. A great unit and even better buy if you use more of its many features.
