TRY FORMATTING THE CD DISCS IN YOUR COMPUTER AND SELECTING THE SETTING THRU WINDOWS WHEN IT ASKS YOU, THAT IS IF YYOU ARE USING WINDOWS, I DUNNO WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU, STICK IT IN THE CD BURNER AND RIGHT CLICK PROPERTIES AND HIT FORMAT TO USE WITH WHATEVER APPLICATION YOU ARE DOING
Check that in the control panel of Windows, "Sounds and devices" your interface is the default device in each of the panels under the tabs such as "Voice" and the others.
Be sure your computer is in either high-performance or low-latency power mode. Windows 7 likes to put computers in a power-saving mode that is great when running on battery but really works against you when working with high-demand software. There should be a battery/power icon on your task bar. Just double click this and change your power option to low-latency (preferred) or high-performance.
If this doesn't fully resolve the issue, follow my tip on speeding up your computer: http://www.fixya.com/support/r5347471-speeding_up_computer_windows_xp (slightly different for windows 7)
Check to make sure all your audio drives are configured. Sometimes the microphone jack isn't configured with the program. No audio comes through. Another suggestion is to, try Audacity. It is a free audio recording program, and it helps to master even some of the hardest studio production software programs.
Think of MIDI like the old time player pianos where you put a roll into it and the punches on the paper roll told the piano what notes to play. MIDI is a way for computers and musical instruments to communicate what is being played. When you plug your keyboard into your computer and enable it in Cakewalk, then Cakewalk records what notes you are playing on your keyboard (makes a piano roll file). Then when you tell Cakewalk to play this file back it communicates to your keyboard and says play these notes just like a person was sitting there playing these notes. The distinction here is you are recording and playing back your performance (which keys you pressed, how hard you struck the keys, how long you held the keys for sustain, etc...). No sound is actually being recorded, just the PERFORMANCE. When you play it back, the keyboard regenerates the sounds on the fly just as if you were actually sitting there performing the music again. Same thing applies to other MIDI enabled instruments (drums, guitar, saxaphone, etc...). This opens up all kinds of possibilities, you can redirect the recorded MIDI file to a completely different sound or instrument. Example... you record MIDI of you playing piano song, then you have Cakewalk play this MIDI back to your keyboard but you change the sound on your keyboard to guitar, it will play the same song, but now you will hear guitar instead of piano. Get it?
you have to check your driver node. Change to MME, run wave profiler and restart application. Also check playback timing master and record timing master and be sure that your sound card is listed under both. That will do it
