Your midi audio port might not be assigned. Check to see that you have a midi output assigned. If you do, you might check one more thing.

Go to Options|Audio|Advanced and see if the box labled "Always use MME..." is checked. If not, put a check mark in the box and restart Sonar. That might be the reason you do not hear midi audio. That was my problem.

Good luck.

cakewalk no sound!
