Symptoms of driver trouble
Sometimes the signs of driver problems aren't as obvious as a sudden inability to record or play back audio or MIDI. The symptoms
you experience may be less dramatic, but can still have a negative effect on your ability to work with Cakewalk. Here's a list of some
symptoms that may indicate driver trouble:

Stuck, delayed, or random MIDI notes during recording and/or play back.
Audio or MIDI data drifting out of time with other tracks in the file.
Cakewalk pops out of Record mode in the middle of recording.
Cakewalk pops out of Play mode in the middle of play back.


If a problem does arise, you may be able to resolve it by simply reinstalling the drivers currently in use. However, in order to ensure
Cakewalk functions as well as it possibly can, we recommend you update your hardware drivers as new versions become available,
particularly for your sound card and/or MIDI interface. In general, hardware manufacturers regularly release new versions of their drivers
and make them available to be downloaded from the web. These updated drivers often contain fixes for problems with the previous
version, or new features that can enhance the performance of your hardware. Click here for a list of links to various hardware
manufacturers.

After you've reinstalled or updated drivers, you need to have Cakewalk analyze those new drivers so it can configure itself properly.
Here's how:

1.Open Cakewalk, and choose Options | Audio | General.
2.Press the Wave Profiler button.
3.Click 'Yes' in the dialog that appears.
4.When the Wave Profiler has finished, you can continue working.

Note: Hardware manufacturers often make Beta versions of drivers available for download. Keep in mind that Beta drivers are by
definition incomplete, and installing them may or may not result in erratic device behavior in Cakewalk and other programs.
