You'll either need to allow exclusive control of your sound device you're trying to us with wasapi under sound properties or possibly another software is using it and has exclusive control of it.
EDIT: Also if you've moved your Sonar to different USB ports the drivers get reinstalled but Fidelify keeps all previously used drivers, plugged in or not. So there could be a 2nd driver listing on there that's the right Sonar.
Thank you so much! your first solution provided the fix, thanks for going to the effort of screenshot dumping it, it would have taken me a while to even think of checking those options.
Anybody know if ASIO or WASAPI is better? There's quite a bit of a difference in volume, ASIO seems much quieter by default compared to WASAPI/DirectSound.
Which would you recommend for listening with? (with DAC/AMP)
EDIT: Just realised the ASIO is more likely the "true" audio as I cannot adjust volume at all via Windows or ASUS control panel I think it simply feeds it through 'as is' without any added amplification. With WASAPI I can adjust volume via control panel etc. - Apart from that I can't tell a huge deal apart.
With the above in mind, what's the best settings for ASIO? I've got it set out 32-bit, 1MS in ASIO control panel. With Fidelify settings at default: 512 buffer samples and 0.5 seconds stream buffer

EDIT: Also you wouldn't happen to know how I can delete duplicate/false entries of the devices in the drop down menu of Fidelify? - I have only re-seated the Asus Xonar once or twice but into the same PCI port for OPAMP rolling.
