While trying to use Sonar X2 with Windows 8 and the Steinberg UR22 interface, I receive the following message.
"The following drivers either do not dupport the current audio format, or are in use by another application. Please choose whether you want to disable them or use them anyway. Stienberg USB UR22."
 
Ive searched the forum and havent seen anything on this particular interface.
 
It is the only program used and the driver mode is set to WDM/KS. Ive tried driver mode WASAPI and ASIO but to no avail. Any tips would be appreciated.

A couple of things:

1.  I saw a note from a Cakewalk person in an older thread with a similar problem, and the gist of it was a recommendation to disconnect/reconnect the audio interface after a sample rate change to the interface.  That cleared up that particular set of issues for the other user.

2.  Also in a different thread, for the same message you are getting, I saw that had gotten cleared up by checking the box in Preferences>Audio>Playback and Recording that is labelled "Always Open All Devices".  Apparently the message went away after that.

It is unclear what settings you are currently trying to work with for your interface, and what you have set in Sonar as well.

I recommend using the ASIO drivers for your interface, which do support Windows 8, and start with a Sample Rate of 44.1 on your interface, an ASIO Buffer Size of 128 on your interface, and make sure the Sample Rate in Sonar is also set to 44.1 - it must match the interface Sample Rate or weird crashes and nuttiness can occur.  I would also suggest an initial record bit-depth of 24-bit.

I hope any of the above helps,

Bob, your suggestion resolved the problem. I checked the option, "Always Open All Devices."
 
Thank you!
