Many factors determine the efficient processing of digital audio. Just a few things that I discovered that are involved.
How much RAM does your machine have?
Are other processes operating in the background?(eliminate any un-necessary operating system processes) Caution is the watch word here and you might want to hire someone who has done it or consult with an audio engineer.
MME drivers are not the best choice.
ASIO is best with sonar but do you have the latest drivers installed?
Are you using a machine that has USB 2.0 ports installed?(USB 1.0 won't cut it)
Is there a second storage drive separate for audio(highly suggested)?
How many tracks are you trying to playback or record?( related to drive and ram speeds)
Are you recording at 24 bit or 16 bit. Might try 16 and see if this helps.
Is the cache enabled?
Are you using a lot of plug-ins like reverb and soft syths. These require a lot of on board memory and good speed.
All in all I always suggest a machine dedicated, optimized and setup for audio use only if you want to save many hours of frustration and to produce high quality audio.
Lots of Ram/Large dedicated fast hard drive/All processes optimized by eliminating things you don't need or can live without in the operating experience. Also if you are using a Window machine you can sign up at musicxp.net and get the instructions on how to optimize your machine for audio.
I hope this helps solve your problem
