OK, I'm stumped.  Other instruments play and record fine (with a lot of latency).  Session drummer works.  When I go to the track I have set up with EWQL all of the meters move when I play the note, the patch seems to be loaded.  I have checked the two boxes Cliff mentioned in midi preferences.  But still EWQL makes no sound.  I've tried it as a stand alone - using the EWQL interface without Sonar, loaded a patch, set the output to my sound card outs, the meter moves, but no sound.  What gives?

Cliff how do I change cc7?

I'm not convinced it's anything to do with CC numbers.

How are you inserting EW into Sonar?

The best way (IMO) is to go Insert > Soft Synth > EWQLSO and tick the 2 boxes which give you a separate Audio & Midi track - no point in messing with Simple Instrument Tracks as they are know to be a bit buggy at times.

Once you've done that, loaded a patch, and made sure your routing is correct, it should sound.

PS - you still haven't confirmed that you are a) loading a patch into EWQLSO and b) routed it's output correctly.

Me neither - seems the OP has a new setup, and never had this running, so it could be many things. Right back to basics.

Agree 100% - I only ever tinkered with simple instrument tracks when I first bought Sonar, I don't see any advantages to them, and I believe you're right about the buggy bit :-)

Todd did say in his last post that he's tried the "Standalone" program, loaded a patch, set the output to his soundcard and still no sound.
 
Makes my immediate thought that it's got to be something simple ... just can't thing what right now.
I'm nowhere near my DAW for several hours now, busy on other things.
 
Todd, what version of EW Play are you using ?., have you downoaded the latest ?.
 
What are your other system specs ?.
System/processor ?.
OS (XP / Vista / Win 7) ?.
32 or 64 bit ?.
And, what sound card drivers are you using ? ASIO ? WDM ?
 
If you have a lot of latency, it could be a clue and could be related.
 
Cheers - Cliff

Was your ILok installation successful?

If he's running the original Silver edition it won't be iLok or Play, it'll be the Kompakt version, authorisation of which can be a royal PITA if you're not online.
