While asio for all does provide some solution, if you have a decent audio
interface, your interface should provide native asio drivers. Good driver
support that deal directly with the interface is usually the best way to go.
Go to sonar's options>Audio, in the advanced tab, first make sure that th
profile (interface) you are dealing with is the one for your interface, then
go to driver type and select asio (if it's available). Then press apply and
then ok. Try restarting sonar and then take it for a spin and see. Note that
the restarting sonar is not a required thing for sonar 8.x, but I always do
it just because :)
But Rui is right, your system needs to be optimized for working with audio
applications, and with laptops problems are even more than on a desktop, due
to certain incompatibilities, and because a laptop for the most part will
just not give you the same power as a desktop, unless you go to the upper
upper end.

HTH, D!J!X!

Hi Efren ,
If I'm not wrong, if you are using the Wave profile, it's because you are
not using ASIO drives, instead you are using WDM drives.

I've been there!
  Download the, free, ASIO 4 All drive, , and you have a part of your
problems resolved. All parameters are very accessible.
Buffer size plus kernel parameters need to be all the time on top of it.
It's a bit like this, if you are recording you need to put down the buffer
size because of latency, drop outs, etc...
For mixing or mastering work, the opposite is needed, larger buffer size,
plus more quantity of kernels.

Another thing.Be aware that  PC's, need   to be better config to work with 
this kind of hard processment.

You need to check on MS config, some aplications that dont really need to be
working at the time that you are using Sonar. Or, check Start Up aplications
aswell. So much that you can do to improve PC's reaction!!!

All machine, as a limit!

Good luck,

Best regards,
Rui Vilarinho
