You need to manually register the FaderPort.dll in Windows and you need to do it running the command prompt as administrator or it won't work.
Inside the FaderPort folder there's a sub folder named FaderPort Dll that contains the .dll for Sonar choose your version x64 or x86,copy the .dll and place it in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces or C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces then open command prompt and type this.

Code: Select all

regsvr32  "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces\FaderPort.dll"

press enter.

Ok, I tried that (both ways) and it still doesn't work. And when doing it under the command prompt - I followed the directions however, when I hit enter after entering in the second line of code - I get a error code. Saying that the ddl is registered but can not be loaded (or the other way around - cant remember) and has an error code. I tried it again just incase I did not enter something in right... this time I copied the code as it was written in the directions and still did the same thing. Says that the ddl was registered but can not be loaded and lists that error code again.Now - did I screw something up in my system by doing this and it not working? can I undo what I just did?

Your system is fine, nothing was changed, I don't know why it didn't work in your machine.
I've been using my FaderPort with Sonar since X1,and I know it works because I use it every day.

This is from the Knowledge Base.

Yes, the Knowledge Base is the directions that I followed. Not sure why it didn't work but, it didn't work. I do appreciate the help though - Thank You.

Hi,
I'm using Sonar Platinum and can only get the PAN and the VOLUME adjustments to work, no play, stop, rewind.....
I'm using Firmware 1.38.
Which firmware are you using?
Thanks.

Hi Jerry,

I'm also using firmware 1.3.8, for me it works fine with Platinum, and all X versions.
Maybe I can help you if you provide more info on how you have the FaderPort configured in Sonar.
