Hi.
Since I got my 4K monitor, my volume sliders work funny. After a little tweak they jump ether to zero or to max. Is there a workaround for this?

The slider does this when I drag the slide back an foreword and it made cakewalk crash today too. Do you guys think I need to report this or is there something I can do? Some fix on the way?

It sounds like you have some volume automation going on inadvertently

It might also be worthwhile checking/changing your Windows display size: Control Panel > Display, particularly if you're not using a standard size.

I was using 150% size. And tried it at 100%. Then the problem was gone. But the problem is that everything gets really small. It’s a reason the standard size is 150%.
I will test it more later. This was just a little test. Opening the program and moved the faders like crazy.
Sorry I don’t know the English names of the settings. I use a Norwegian windows 8.1 update 1.

Cool, at least you know the cause!   
 
Does 125% work any better for you?

The same problem I guess. I will test this further tomorrow. Its soon bedtime here in Norway.
Could it be that sonar have problem with position of the mouse when screensize is out of the screens native resolution?

I'm not really sure, but I was pretty sure I've come across this before...

Ok. I have found a workaround, i klick on the slider and then use + and - to adjust the fader. It works fine, but it only goes on whole numbers. So its not something for mixing.

Perhaps it's your mouse. Seriously. The left button on my mouse is going bad, and sometimes it gives a spontaneous double-click. If that happens while on the volume fader, it resets the fader to zero. I thought of this possibility when you said that a workaround was to use the keyboard instead of the mouse.
