I just installed Sonar 2.2 on a new computer. The installation went fine, but when I double-click on the program, it will not run. I can't figure out why...

Asus A7N8X deluxe (on-board sound)
AMD XP 3000+
Audiophile 2496 soundcard

Any help would be appreciated

Is it a Warez version?

It could be just a shortcut error. Try clicking on the sonar icon in windows explorer.

It's not a warez version of Sonar. I actually figured out what the problem was. I am using an ATI All-in-Wonder 9600 Pro graphics card that uses WDM drivers for audio. Sonar cannot utilize the WDM drivers if another device is using them. If I use Sonar's ASIO drivers, the program works fine. Just thought you all might find this a little interesting. Just curious: does anyone know if Sonar's performance suffers by using ASIO drivers vs WDM?

You can allow Sonar to share drivers in the audio options menu.

The problem is caused by the "ATI WDM Rage Teather Audio" driver.

try to deselect the "ATI WDM Rage Teather Audio" driver in Controller Audio and all works fine!!!!
