Cakewalk hijacks iMac soundcard, Can't change setting to Sound In Options

[jodc]

In order to record on our iMac 9.2 I need to have the Apple Sound Card set on Sound In.

The problem: as soon as Cakewalk Metro 5 is activated, the Sound Card setting becomes permanently set to Internal Modem. A warning is also posted on the Sound Card window that says the setting can't be changed because the application is in use elsewhere. As far as I know, the Sound Card isn't being used by another application.

This situation is maddening. I should also note that when we first install Metro 5, we can record once, then the problem sets in.

I think this is an Apple system problem, as the same thing happened when we tried to use the basic freeware Soundrecorder 1.0

Help !!!!

Sounds like you're having a problem with your mac. I use metro 5 and have never experienced this problem. Make sure that you are not online. Also look at your file finder and make sure that nothing else is being used.

jodc please confirm this:

-1) without any app launched, you choose the sound-in in the sound control panel.

-2) you launch cakewalk and the sound setting is changed?

-3) it behaves the same on others app?
