Unable to open audio playback device
Hi to all the friendly souls reading this message!
I have Sonar 8.5 and I just bought a Power Studio 660, hoping to end all my troubles with Sonar.
I installed the Win7 drivers (32-bit) and they installed fine, but Sonar already started out with some error messages about incompatible hardware, which I chose to ignore (after all I'm using a SONAR interface now) and clicked on "use anyway". I even uninstalled the drivers and re-installed them, just to make sure and I didn't get any error messages starting Sonar after that.
Now, when I load one of the demo projects, only the MIDI demos work, but not the ones with wave audio. I'm always getting the above message ( Unable to open audio playback device).
I tried changing the sample rate on the interface (from 96 to 48 and 41) but it doesn't help.
I disabled the onboard soundcard to avoid any conflicts.
I checked " share drivers with other programs". in the audio options. I closed Sonar after every change and restarted, but that doesn't make any difference.
What else is there to try?
Obviously, there seems to be a conflict with the sample rates, but I cannot change it in audio options. It only accepts 96k and I get an error message saying the driver will only allow 96K.
I can play the soft synths, which I'm pretty happy about, but I need to know what the issue is with the demo projects or I'll DIE!
Hope you can help!
Thanks!
