Hi, try deleting the aud.ini file, or rename it to audio.old or something, then hold shift, press enter on the sonar icon, and continue to hold shift. When it asks you if you want to reset or copy data, click cancel, since you don't need the data overwritten. This should launch sonar in safe mode. You might also want to try turning on sonar without your mic plugged in; it might then switch to silent buses and let you make changes there.

Hi. So I'm hitting shift-enter, basically? Or do I have to double click on it? If I have to double click then I'll have to wait till my fiance gets home, because she can see where the mouse is. But if I'm hitting shift-enter, it does the same thing. But I'll try to get her to start it with the mouse and see what happens with that. Then I can set it back to asio and grab asio for all I guess, assuming of course that setting it to asio fixes it. I still don't get why you can't just directly edit the aud.ini file and tell it what driver to use though.
