well Ray, I use with 2 pro audio cards, BUT to record you do have to switch back to MME.. and well the on-board cards don't help matters latency wise. can you adjust a buffers slider perhaps?

also the sample rate of your onboard maybe locked to 24 bit. none of the devices I use within sonar are "windows default" ones..  I use my onboard, and onboard mic for that.

Just wanted to add that using ASIO4ALL will eliminate the need to change to MME or WDM.  It will read all MME or WDM devices - outputs and inputs and then you can easily use them with ASIO. 

I just bought an MXL .009 USB mic and could not for the life of me get anything to work with MME or WDM.  It would always crackle, choke, and would slow Sonar to a crawl.  After using ASIO4ALL, it runs smooth as silk and best of all I can keep using the good ole ASIO mode that we all love and cherish.

Hope that helps anyone out there with getting USB mics to work in Sonar.

Enrique , the thing with asio4all is it's VERY hit and miss and varies from setup to setup.. and well is a quick fix.. if your fine with it, then great.. but not everyone can get away with using it alas.

if people are happy with it , then great.. but a decent asio based sound card is a better solution. some will say that for the mic, use an analog one, but well if you don't sing a lot or want to use a mic without an extra, soundcard, it's decent for that.

I would have done a guide for the g-track but samson didn't provide me with one for free after my work on this

Nah, Misty, last night there was a stealth spam post (one of those 'paste in parts of someone else's reply and add spam links' things). Apparently, that post was removed by the mods.

the very cheek of it .. tbh , I'm surprised it took them so long ..

What I am running: Windows XP Pro SP3 (32bit) Samson Gtrack & Cakewalk LE which came with the MIC. I am very new to this software and very much aprechaite any help I get. While recording I hear the sound coming from left/right speakers. Playback I only hear the sound coming from the right speaker. Q. Can this be fixed in Cakewalk LE? Q. How do you get the playback sound in both channels? If so/possible, can comeone please tell me how to do this. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
This isn't really a problem-reporting thread, but an informational thread.
Change the input in the audio track to a mono input, not a stereo input. See if that works.
 
If the tracks you've already recorded are keepers, you can fix it by going to Edit>Bounce to Track(s) and choosing the option Split Mono.
That will put each side of the stereo track in a seperate track and you can delete the empty track. The remaining track should be centered and pannable.
 
Next time, start your own thread by clicking the Post New Thread button in the upper left.
Again, welcome.

 EnriqueV, your suggestion works, thanks! Using ASIO as device mode in Recording Playback device rather than MME solved the latency issue. You just have to set this up by connecting the mic first then restart Sonar to detect the Samson mic C01u since it will not show as recording device if you do not restart Sonar.
