I can't believe how easy this was to fix. I needed to uncheck my other driver to enable the check box for the VRM.

Well the greyed out driver issue is gone but now I'm getting the "Unable to open audio playback device. Device may not support the current audio project's audio format or may be in use."

Make sure your interface sample rate matches the setting in Sonar under Preferences>Audio>Driver Settings.

I am assuming your driver mode is ASIO and all of that - audio interfaces can complain or not work if sample rates do not match between the interface and the host application (Sonar).

Also, sometimes interfaces do not like USB 3.0 ports - might check to see if you are in a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port (3.0 port should have a blue plastic interior).

Thanks Bob.....I did check the sample rates and they do match and I don't have any USB 3.0 ports on this machine. I took some screenshotsfor tech support.

Rocky

Do you have the new interface set as the default device for your system?  Also, just curious, is there any other audio application running?  Do you have the Share Driver with other programs option checked?

Just trying to think of things for you to try, 

Bob Bone

Sorry - just saw this was your only device.

What about bit-rate mismatch?

Bob Bone

No to all the questions Bob. I adjusted the latency to 20ms and now I get playback. Thanks for the help.

Rocky

Yay!

On mine via s/pdif I have to set the VRM control panel to 512 buffers for it to work.  I don't know why, I have a frast system, but it's fine since you only use the VRM for playback.

o to all the questions Bob. I adjusted the latency to 20ms and now I get playback.

Well, yeah, but 20ms is unusable. You need a better solution.
