Hi Gord, The problem seems to be coming from my edirol fa66. lol My system has seemed to have minor problems with this card from day 1. For example, if I turn my comp off with the card still on, then i turn my machine back on, the card doesn't get picked up by the firewire port. I have to turn the card off, restart my comp, then turn the fa66 back on. Don't know if it's the card or my system acting up. The problem I reported with this particular post is just another frustrating encounter between my fa66 and Sonar. Ah well, just one of the things I gotta patiently live with I guess.

I suppose if you were strictly using midi hardware, you could still use internal, but I haven't used it like that in a very long time.

It seems that, for some odd reason, the clock in the projects option in some of my files switched from "internal" to "audio." Isn't the normal setting suppose to be on "Internal," and if so, why is this changing in some of the files? Thanks. Omar Binno www.omarbinno.com
