Hello, when i try to record in Sonar X2 with my Lexicon Omega i get the following error message
The Following Driver(s) either do not support the current audio format or are in use by another application
please choose whether you want to disable them or use them anyway
 
options are
USB audio device
USB audio device 1/2
USB audio device 3/4
 
i succesfully was able to record a few days ago, but now am not able to please someone help
i just want to get back to recording
 

Set Preferences to ASIO mode, 24 bit, and 44.1KHz sample rate? If that doesn't work, go to WDM. 
Make sure the Omega is the only soundcard selected. Deselect the onboard soundchip (probably Realtek).

I tried that and it said my usb bandwith has been exceeded

i have only the USB audio device 1/2 which is the mic, for my input
and the USB audio device for my output

i know its a problem with sonar because it works perfectly in Mixcraft 6

your best bet might to be contacting tech support.  
  

did you download the demo or have any other previous sonar installs ?

I dont like talking on the phone.... I didnt download a demo, im trying to install sonar 8 to see if it works better

Same Problem in Sonar 8 idk what the deal is i can record perfectly in mixcraft.... someone please help

Oh, you didn't say you had a USB microphone. USB microphones are problematic. Since they are treated as a sound device, then you can't use ASIO mode because ASIO only allows one sound device at a time. So you have to use WDM or MME mode. Try WDM first. Hopefully that will work. If you have to run in MME mode, then you should get rid of the USB microphone. 

I dont have a USB mic, i have a Lexicon Omega audio interface, when i switched to asio mode all it did was say USB bandwith exceeded

Well, that wasn't clear from your posting. It would help if you would post your computer specs and audio equipment.


I assume your computer has USB 2.0 ports and not USB 1.1. Or are you using USB 3?


Is the Omega plugged into a USB hub or a USB port on the computer? Make sure the Omega is plugged into a powered hub if you're using a hub. 


What other USB devices are you using? 


USB bandwidth errors are unusual. I have several USB hubs and a lot of USB equipment and have never gotten that message. 


Make sure you have the latest drivers for the Lexicon Omega. You may also want to reinstall them making sure you follow the instructions. Some USB devices don't want you to have it plugged in during the installation until it tells you to. 

Report back your findings. This should work. 

EDIT: I looked up the manual and the Omega is a USB 1.1 device. It also says: "USB Type B Socket: Version 1.1, Version 1.1 hubs are not supported." It also said to make sure the Omega is NOT connected when installing the drive so if you didn't follow that, uninstall the Omega and reinstall it following the instructions.
