Hmmmm....I too have an ATI card (Radeon HT 2400 XD) and occasionally have this issue. So enabling pointer trails resolved the issue? 
I guess I'll try it. Thanks,
Randy

Yeah, it did Randy. Let me know if this resolves your issue. We may be on to something here. BTW, you don't have to have the long pointer trails (annoying as hell). I have mine set all the way to the left (short) and it still has the same result. You can virtually tell no difference in the mouse pointer.

Well I was going to go check the trails option and realized I didn't have the latest drivers (Win 7) so maybe that was my issue. 
That said it may be a while before I can really test it as I just started a new project (one track laid this morning) and it only does it when I have a bunch of stuff going on.
If I do notice it again I will definitely get the trails happening.
Thanks very much,
Randy

 Why does enabling pointer trails on the mouse cursor solve my issue?

Badly written driver?  Anyway, I'm glad you found a workaround.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Well, this card has only been out like two weeks now so maybe they'll work out the bugs in a future release.

Submitted a bug report for this issue today. Not everyone who has this video card is going to figure out this workaround on their own. Sonar seems to be the only application that is affected by my new video card. Adobe Premiere Elements is actually performing better with the new card. It all points to a glitch to me. My only guess is that when the mouse pointer changes shapes as you move through the clips, it causes hiccups in the audio. Why enabling the pointer trails helps, I have no idea. I even tried customizing my pointer with CursorFX but unless I had pointer trails checked in the mouse pointer options, audio glitches galore.

Wow I have an ATI 2400XD too and mouse glitching. Gotta try the mouse trails fix.  Acceleration reduction won't fix it for me.

If you're running Win 7 64 bit there is a new driver....otherwise...ummm...never mind

Please chime in all Cakewalk users having issues with ATI graphics cards and mouse pointer glitching the audio during playback!

Cakewalk kicked back my bug report (CWBRN-2547) and said it was a "system-specific" problem and that I should direct it to tech support. I THINK NOT! Come on Cake. This is obviously a software development issue you should discuss with ATI. What if someone else with the same graphics card I purchased buys Sonar and can't use it because his/her audio is all glitched up. Do you think they're going to consider enabling the pointer trails on there mouse? Huh? Nope! They're going to write Sonar off as crappy software and tell all their friends. Work with me here Cake!

Hi Randy,

The new drivers did not fix my issue but thanks anyway.

Bitman, let me know how things work out. I need all the support I can get.
