700-C kinda working???

Yesterday, I was able to get the drivers installed and had everything hooked up.  The 700-C appeared to be rockin' and a rollin' when I loaded "Room for Clarity" (from the previously purchased Sonar 8).   Today, I turned everything on, the faders jumped into place and I hit the start button -- nothing.  I use the mouse and start the song on the screen and it works fine.  The console seems show the metering of some tracks.  I couldn't adjust anything on the 700 Console.  I used my mouse to lower the Master volume and the fader on the console drops, too.  But, when I use the fader -- nothing.  Is there something I am missing? 

I restarted Sonar and the same thing is happening.  Everthing seems to be showing on the Console but the Console has no control.  Again, I adjusted some of the faders in the Mixer view and the faders on the Console respond the same way.  So, I am sorta stumped, here.

Was still a very green Sonar 8 Producer Edition user when graduating to a very green Sonar X1 Expanded user.  Now, upgraded to Sonar X3c from X2 (but never had the time to get proficient with it.)

    Ok you need to go to the Controller/Surfaces Menu. Make sure that V700 Console is in both the In port and the Out port columns. You will see that it is one and not the other. You are getting one way communication only. When you have V700 console selected in both columns you should get communication both ways.

    Sometimes this happens and for some odd reason it does this. If you ever get problems with the communication between the console and Sonar this is the place to check first.

    Also note that in the Midi Devices menu there is one thing that should NOT be ticked and that is IO (VS-700) port. This is not the same as IO MIDI (VS-700) which does need to be ticked if you want to use the Midi IN/OUT ports on the VS 700R

    Its all a little confusing that but once you get used to it then its fine.

    Good thing I am in Australia an awake to help while everyone else is asleep over there! Good luck and let me know how you go.

    I went into the controller/surfaces menu and they are now both on the "console (vs-700)" and it works.  However, for some reason, on the draw down menu for the "in port", the "DV-7 (vs-700) is checked and remains checked even through the box says "console (vs-700)".

    In midi devices, the "IO (VS-700) is not checked.  I remember as I was setting it up that the instructions said to not check those and thought it was rather odd but still made sure they weren't checked.

    Thanks a bunch.

    Make sure that DV-7 is not checked in Midi Devices. There are no check boxs in the Controllers/Surfaces dropdown menu.
    Uncheck everything in Midi devices except the Console, the Fantom, and IO Midi.

    Yup, its now checked as Console (VS700).  Before, though it said Console (VS700) in the box, the draw down menu kept having DV-7 checked and I couldn't uncheck it.  Perhaps, with everything being shut down and restarted, it corrected itself.
