4. Reopen the Pro Audio file in SONAR. If the volume sounds correct, save the file in

Your project may have become corrupted, or SONAR is attempting to use a plug-in that is not
longer on your system. You can attempt to open the project using Safe Mode.
To Use Safe Mode
• If you are opening a file from the Most Recently Used files list in the File menu, hold
down the Shift key while selecting file name.
• If you are opening the file from the Open dialog, select the file in the dialog and hold
down the Shift key while clicking the OK button.
Safe Mode does the following:
• Opens only the Track view.
• Prompts you if you want to open the plug-ins saved with your project. Each plug-in
gets a prompt, so you can open some and not open others.
Follow this procedure:
1. Open the Audio Options dialog (Options-Audio command), and on the Advanced tab,
check the Always Use MME Interface, Even When WDM Drivers Are Available option.
2. Click OK to close the dialog.
3. Close SONAR and reopen it.
4. Use the Options-MIDI Devices command to open the MIDI Devices dialog.
5. Highlight the Wavetable synth and/or the MPU401 (or whatever synth your sound card
contains).
6. Click OK to close the dialog.
Now your sound card synth and/or the MPU401 should appear in the drop-down menus of
the Output fields of your MIDI tracks.
