No Audio whatsoever.

[Caithleann]

For fear of sounding stupid, I did read an earlier post by noob who had an external audio problem, the answer sounded encouraging but alas, it did nothing to help me.

I have three sound devices, one of which is a card, the Creative Liveware Soundblaster card; a Native Instruments hardware device, the Audio Kontrol 1 and associated driver and Mbox 2 Pro which is used with Pro Tools LE.

No shortage of audio routing there. But whatever I do, the signal from my VSTs arrive at Cantabile (demo), I see the MIDI signal at the midi input port and the audio from the VST at the output level LEDs but that is where it all ends, I get NOTHING at my speakers.

I think that I have done everything I needed to do but perhaps I have overlooked something.

Please show me the way, Brad, I am stymied. Even the manual brings no relief.

Thanks so much,

Cat

Check your >Setup>Audio Engine Options>Assign Audio Channels... to see where your audio is routed to.

There you should see where Front Left and Front Right go.

A couple of other things:

* Make sure you've not got the Null Audio driver selected - it does exactly what you've described. Look in bottom-left of status bar to see the selected audio driver - click it to change.

* Follow Sasu's suggestion above.

* Try a couple of different audio drivers perhaps. Asio4all is good option for testing too.

* In MIDI devices, make sure you don't have the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth MIDI device selected - it can interfere with some audio drivers - particularly asio4all. If selected, clear it and restart Cantabile.

* Check your system volume's not turned down in windows control panel. (Will depend on audio driver if this has an effect).

Failing all of the above, please create me a debug log so I can investigate see http://www.cantabilesoftware.com/support/debug.html for details. Leave logging at level 2 and send it through and I'll check it out.

I hope this helps.

Null Audio Driver. That was it.

When I clicked the assign Audio Driver as suggested by you both, the appropriate window opened and for the longest time I did not see that "select Audio Driver" option because it is plain text, i.e. it does not stand out as a dropdown textbox as does the "Sample Rate" dropdown below it.

Finally it dawned on me that the text "Null Audio" was one of several choices and I realized that there was the secret to my misery.

Thanks.
