Silent Busses Detected

Recently upgraded with a new system. When I open a project in X1 I get a dialog box with the Window Caption of "Silent Buses Detected". The body of the dialog says the following:
 
The following tracks and buses are currently assigned to a silent hardware output. The items listed below will be silent in your project until their outputs are reassigned to an appropriate hardware output.
 
Then there is a list of buses which contains one item:
Master
 
I pick Ok the project opens and the Master Bus appears to be assigned and if I hit "play" everything seems to be working fine. Is this just an annoyance or do I have a problem?
 
Thanks,
 
 

The project was set up as a test. There are three audio tracks and one bus, Master. The Master bus is assigned to the correct device and I'm monitoring sound.
 
If I save, close project, open project I will get the same dialog. The Master bus will still be assigned to the correct device and I will still be able to playback and monitor the tracks.
 
Does this make sense?
 
Thanks for the response.
 
 

Same issue here !

I got this message a couple of times like when I loaded the Cori Yarckin demo song but I think it was simply that that song/project had no idea which device I had. Once I spec'd the device on the bus it was good to go. I don't why it would keep happening.

Well I am stumped.  I don't know what you can do now. Hopefully it will work itself out. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I get this everytime I forget to turn ON my interface.  Maybe comm prob in that area?  It has to be on and communicating before Launching X1

No worries John. I appreciate the attempt. Tomorrow I'm going to create a new project and see what happens. I'll post here on succes or failure. Thanks again

Hi digi2ns,
 
Yes I'm pretty sure the audio device is turned on that's why I can hear it. Or can I? 
 
Thanks.

I get the same annoyance on one particular project. the alert is erroneous; I just ignore it....

As with almost all the SONAR patches there is no rollback. Have to do a complete uninstall including registry edits and reinstall to the update you want.

My apologies. There is an undo for this patch as there was for the Hotfix. For the hotfix they explained that it was simple to undo as the only file changed was "sonarprd.exe"

This is what Cakewalk says about the Quickfix:

    "Backup & Recovery
The QuickFix installer will automatically backup your existing SONAR installation, the default location will be 'C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR VERSION\Backup\DATE\Version_Build.Number' If for any reason you need to restore to X1b you can do so by replacing the files in your installation directory with the ones found in the Backup folder"

The only file in the back up folder is "sonarprd.exe" They could say that instead of saying there's a backup of your existing SONAR installation.

@ osd: Routing to a muted bus is a really good idea - Thank You!


@ Noel: Thank you! No, all is well with my template. I have a split bus setup that uses the sends only. Intentional, thus the silent bus. - I can't wait to change the ini file. Going to do that right now. This has been annoying to me for a while. Going to miss that alert box, we have some good times together. :)

I have seen this warning also. I have it popping up on the screen all the time with 1 project. I just ignore it, as it doesn't mess with anything. I can also reproduce this at will, whether in an existing project or a completely new one. All you have to do is set up a send to anywhere, then remove it. Save your project, close it and reopen it. The error message will popup warning you about "Silent Buses Detected". Is this what you're all talking about?

@ Noel

Thanks for the "ini" tip! Much appreciated. 

Probably because I'm not explaining myself clearly.  Can you recommend a screen capture utility allowing me to demonstrate it?
