This is a bit surprising, due to the complete lack of QA that accompanied this latest update, but I just got off the phone with cakewalk support.  They confirm that there is a serious issue with the latest update, and the only remedy is to install the original version.  You cannot downgrade from X1a to X1.  Basically the problem is that sonar cannot find your ASIO device.  I am using a zoom r24, and that is my only option to interface to it.  
So if you use asio, especially if you use a zoom r24 as your interface, I would advise you do NOT install this until they get the issue rectified with another patch.

Um, I use ASIO and ive been using SonarX1 with the new update for 16 hours straight with no issues.

Just to re-iterate, this is straight from the support persons mouth.  He said there was an issue with ASIO, and it "is obviously an impacting issue".  Obviously it does not affect everyone using ASIO, since you are OK.  I'm just trying to save anyone else my headache, as the only way to fix it, again straight from him, is to reinstall the original version.
So go ahead and take your chances, just a fair warning.

Thats cool.

  Why is Cakewalk not announcing this issue themselves?

ASIO fine here too with X1a:-)

I installed today and ran the x1a patch, and everything is fine on ASIO for me too.

Seems to be by a case by case basis.  Me, I've had it appear twice and after a close and restart, X1a picks up the device just fine.

Frontier Dakota 64 bit ASIO driver.

Not using ASIO but X1a is as dead as a dodo. No audio engine or transport.
Exactly the same settings I used in X1. SONAR 8.3, 8.5 32 & 64 bit all work fine. and X1 worked fine with the settings copied over during install. X1a no workee - despite trying everything - its like its not connected to the audio driver at all.

ASIO with RME interface is working just fine here
