by the way i was just playing since your last post did not appear as you likely intended. It's hard to tell whether your problem is Sonar, user, or computer. i was trying to isolate some things. Opening the sound in an editor program might help us to determine that the file recorded properly. There are free programs like audacity and wavosaur you could obtain, but let's hold off on that. At the risk of being redundant, could you walk us through the exact steps you used to record, including interface you are using?
