...Reaching out to people who use BOTH Sonar and Adobe Premiere Pro.
I have a problem that's been driving me nuts. I have used Cakewalk's Sonar (v 3.1) for digital music recording for some time now (Windows XP platform). I use the M Audio USB Duo as a soundcard (ASIO drivers, stereo mic inputs) and have gotten very good results. The other soundcard I have installed on my computer is a SoundMAX (internal PCI type), which I never use for recording because it is inferior to the M Audio device. Here's the problem: I recently installed Adobe Premiere Pro (v 7.0) for doing some video editing and for some reason, I can no longer get Sonar to see my M Audio soundcard. The only thing that allows Sonar to show my M Audio soundcard as an available option is if I uninstall Premiere Pro.
When I open Sonar with Premiere Pro installed, when you click on the track input, all that can be selected is "Adobe Default Windows Sound." When you click on the track output, all that can be selected is "Adobe Default Windows Sound SoundMAX Digital Audio" (Again, SoundMAX is my other soundcard). The M Audio soundcard does not even appear as an available option.
When you go to Options>Audio, the General tab for Playback Timing Master only shows "Adobe Default Windows Sound SoundMAX Digital Audio," and Record Timing Master says the same thing. All my available sound cards should show up here, but the M Audio Duo disappears as an option to select when Premiere Pro is installed. The Driver tab says input and output drivers are Adobe Default Windows Sound SoundMAX Digital Audio, and although under this it says M Audio USB ASIO AudioSport Input (and the same under output) it is grayed out and cannot be selected.
I can go to Preferences>Audio Hardware in Premiere Pro and select "M Audio USB Duo ASIO" for input and output but doing this doesn't change anything in Sonar. It still won't allow me to select the M Audio soundcard.
Anybody have any ideas? I even tried reinstalling Premiere Pro several times. No effect. I did a registry clean. No effect. I don't want to have to keep unistalling Premiere Pro when I want to work on music recording projects.
Thanks
