Cracked software is known to not function 100% compared to legal versions. Basically, it would be a waste of anyone's time here trying to help troubleshoot your configuration/problems when you're using cracked software. I can't explain it any simpler than that. Principle, morals, blah, blah aside, technically your not using a program that consists of 100% Steinberg code - crackers change the code to get it to function. If I remember correctly, the crack for Cubase emulates the dongle - which is the hardware device that allows the use of Cubase (plugs into USB port).
As I've read many times in the past, people using the crack of Cubase usually experienced pops, clicks, glitches, ASIO problems, etc. Same thing happens when people used cracked VST plugins. They wonder why things aren't working right or why Cubase crashes all the time when using those plugins. I know you're not using plugins as such, just wanted to point out that you won't be getting the performance you would if everything was legit.
If you're going to get cocky, I've wasted enough time trying to help you already.
