I'm sorry,I don't check blogs all that often. First I think you should contact Cakewalk tech support for help with this. I believe there are settings that need to be adjusted to get the RealTek to work. FYI the RealTek is not an audio interface designed for any serious work with music, and you might want to consider something else. We have a partial list of audio interfaces with Vista support here: http://www.cakewalk.com/vista/ Ron, I didn’t realize that you posted all those replies up here.

Quite unbelievable insolence, in my opinion. What are Dell doing dealing with them? Have any of yopu guys tried talking to Realtek?

BUT I can't get through even the first Sonar tutorial (add a Cakewalk softsynth) because it just won't work. Assuming that my best solution is to buy a separate sound card or unit (PCI or USB), where is a list of KNOWN TO WORK WITH VISTA products? (I'm not gonna get bitten twice!) Is Plug and Play a myth???? What an ungodly mess this fiasco is.... Ron when I say “work” I mean I can play MIDI files through the Microsoft GS MIDI synth provided on a Dell/Vista/Realtek system.

A rather circuitous way to make it work, but at least I can now get a sound out of it! Another layer of complexity, yes, but you've given me something that at least makes music... Ron Thankyou Carl.
