Presonus Audio Interface setup for Cakewalk software

Click Options | Audio | Advanced.  Set your Driver Mode to ASIO.  If you do not see Driver Mode, make sure the box next to “Always use mme interface” is NOT checked.  Click OK and restart the program. 

Next, Click Options | Audio:

On the Drivers tab:

Make sure your Presonus card is selected under both inputs and outputs.  If it appears grayed out, deselect all drivers, in both inputs and outputs, then select your Presonus card.  If changes are made, click OK and restart the program. 

NOTE: Presonus also provides very reliable WDM drivers. If you experience problems in ASIO Driver Mode, you may want to consider using WDM as an alternative.

On the general tab:

Make sure one of your Presonus card drivers is selected as Playback Timing master.  Click OK.  Restart the program if prompted. 

Finally, all audio playback will occur from the Presonus device itself.  Make sure you have your speakers or headphones connected to its outputs.
