Sonar Power Studio Vista Audio Failure
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2008 7:57 pm
Hey everyone.
I am having problems with my audio on my new, Vista x64 computer running my Power Studio 660.
Randomly, all sound completely fails in windows. That is, I can be suring the internet, listening to music, whatever, and it will all of a sudden stop making sound. To restore it, I have to turn off the SPS-66 and turn it back on. Then, usually about 5 minutes later it fails again. Note, this is not just a problem with Sonar, but with any kind of audio in windows.
I completely uninstalled Vista x64 and reinstalled everything. I have the latest bios, the latest drivers for everything. My onboard audio is disabled from the bios. But the problem continued.
I then uninstalled Vista x64 and installed Vista x86; same problem.
I then went and purchased a new firewire card that was labeled vista compatible, thinking that perhaps the problem had to do with my firewire card being to old; same problem.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I have emailed Cakewalk's technical support multiple times in this past month with absolutely no response...is there something wrong with their service? I work 8-5, so calling technical support is difficult; I sit there on hold listening to music throughout my lunch break and noone ever picks up.
Could this be a physical, hardware problem with my SPS-66?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
