Oh wait, there is the auto mute button. Although it is not visible on the screen until you enable automated muting on the track, we can arrow to it and the accessibility string will report its status. It is to the left of the track name and might be worth a look.

Hi, Laurie, It's a long shot but try manually arrowing over to the Mute column and pressing ENTER. There's a remote chance that the scripts are misreporting the status of that Mute button.

Has anyone ever had a track that recorded in a project, the audio track is there in the directory, but the track will not play when the project is played? This is an audio trak that I recorded and the data is there in the audio directory. I can even play the .wav file back in Sound Forge. But the track is silent when the project is played back in Sonar. Currently I'm using Sonar 6 Producer but will be upgrading to Sonar 7 shortly. I worked around the problem by importing the audio to an unused track at the proper point. It then will play back just fine. The original track isn't muted and it's unarmed after being recorded. There is no automation and there are no effects as yet. This is strange. Thanks! Laurie
