The following link takes you to a support page on Cakewalk's site where you
will find a hotfix to address a single issue:
http://www.cakewalk.com/support/kb/kb20080207.asp

This hotfix has made all the difference for a customer who has a TC audio
interface.  Perhaps this hotfix can make life easier for some of you too.
But as the quote from the page below says, if you have not experienced the
situation described, there is no need and no benefit to downloading this
hotfix.  If you have any questions about it, please address them to the
support people at Cakewalk: support@xxxxxxxxxxxx or 1-888-CAKEWALK.

***

This hotfix addresses a single issue that was reported by a few customers
while running SONAR 7.0.2 only with certain ASIO drivers. 

While stopping and restarting playback, or if another application accessed
the audio device while SONAR was in use, occasionally you could get the
following
error message: 

"Unable to open audio playback device. Device may not support the current
project's audio format or may be in use". 

If you have encountered this problem in SONAR 7.0.2 please download the
appropriate hotfix for your version of SONAR and copy the file to your SONAR
program
folder.

If you do not have this problem there is no need to get this update since it
addresses exactly this one problem.
