Would love some live help from someone to get my sonar to output audio.

I'm feeling really ripped off already with the audio interface that I brought (Tascam US-2x2), nothing but hassles. Anyway at least the sales guy raved about the software that came with it.... and here I am.
I've got all my audio out working except sonar. Starting to feel its a real lemon and I should just give up but surely there must be something somewhere that I have missed that is hidden away in a stupid corner that is preventing any audio out from this software.
 
I generally find the better software is, the harder it is to do something simple. Its always puzzled me why simple things can only be simple in limited software.
 
Before I give up on cakewalk as being over-complicated-for-no-reason-rubbish I want to see if its just me misunderstanding something or missing something and I really would be missing out on a great thing.
 So who's up for the task? I would really appreciate it whether I get it working or not if someone could spare some time to jump into discord with me and help me out.
 
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read this and give a suggestion or 2.

yes the sonar le

setup instructions for Tascam US-2x2 and SONAR X1 LE (the config is the same for SONAR X3 LE)

think I see the issue.

its blank.

The Tascam ASIO audio driver needs to be installed or reinstalled. The SONAR does not see the driver. Windows and audio playback software typically do not use the ASIO driver so this may be why they work and SONAR does not. You could try to repersonalize SONAR by holding the CTRL and SHIFT keys. This will reinitialize the SONAR setup.

I do not have a Tascam device to check but would imagine the download comes with everything. I did not see anything tricky about their download page. Not having first hand experience with the device or manufacturer I will have to defer to those using Tascam interfaces. You might want to add some info about the rest of your hardware and OS.

idk what else is needed to know

That is a good start. Is the device connected to a USB2 or USB3 port? I assume you have booted the machine since installing the drivers?

AFAIK. It looks like the panel was last updated for winxp. Theres not really any info on anything so setting up is kind of difficult.

Its connected to USB3, I dont have any USB2 ports. According to the tascam site its fine on USB3.
 
where do I find aud.ini?
found it in appdata. deleted it, started sonar, same error.
 
I dont understand that disagree with me part? I'm having issues trying to get something that should be simple to work.
I installed the software and drivers, so yes I have the mixer. Looks like winxp age and has 0 info about it.

Discord means disagreement. So "jump into discord" would mean jump in to disagree.

I just noticed on the Tascam site that there were two separate listings under the drivers section, so I was just making sure you had both installed.

delete aud.ini and restart SONAR ...

CTRL+SHIFT while starting LE rewrites aud.ini in the user directory but deleting it would not hurt anything.

OK so, update. I unplugged everything. reinstalled drivers and software, plugged tascam unit into a different usb port and it appeared in devices in sonar! I selected it in input and output and then set it in the playback and record timing master. When I hit OK this popped up an error and I am now back to square 1.
The device list is blank again.

OK its back in the devices again.

but if I change the playback timing master I know it will just mess it all up again.

Because I dont know how to set this up and I'm only following what I have been told to do. If you can help me with a helpful suggestion of what to try it would be great. 13 years experience is a lot, you must be able to solve my issue.
