Could be due to July 4 th?

So you don't have an audio interface?
I think what everyone here is trying to tell you is your trying to hear sound over your MIDI connection. You need the audio connection from the Roland

Sounds like you have a routing problem. Try this.

Hook the PC audio outs into a channel input on the mixer.

Hook the mixer main outs directly to the speakers.

Connect an aux bus, preferably a pre-fade one, from the mixer to the PC audio inputs.

Now when Sonar is playing audio, that audio passes through the mixer where it can be mixed with the output from your synth and sent to the speakers.

To record audio you need to use the auxiliary channel(s) on the mixer to send the audio into Sonar while the channel fader is used to control the monitoring mix in the speakers. This means you are not monitoring via Sonar but via the mixer so there should be no latency.

 I am certainly far from knowledgeable  and probably shouldn't chime in here but I has a similar problem a month or two ago. This is may not be what you are seeking as a solution ... but who knows??? 

• Select Insert SoftSynth
  • from the main pull down menu
• Select Direct X
• Select Cakewalk TTS-1

Your midi output track needs to show up on your Soft Synth track as Cakewalk TTS-1 so that your midi instructions are implemented.  If you can hear the midi doing its thing then you'll have an inkling as to why you are otherwise getting no Midi output.  From there it's a matter of playing around with the parameters of the Cakewalk TTS-1 soft synth (or another that you may select) to get the sound you want to hear!

By the way, does anybody know why Cakewalk has been closed for the last week. I'm in pretty desperate need of technical support  (for more than just this). 
 
Concerned,

Just do a search in here and google. I'm 1000% sure all your problems are posted here already or are posted in google already. Your PC is the most powerful tool you have. It can be used for searching and answering any of your problems.
 
Also, the Help file and the hundreds of videos that are posted about Sonar are really good. You have so much information at your finger tips.
