![SB v.1.1.0](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/audiomodern/original/2X/6/679c38cbe2d09eaacdedc4c431a5b3313ad19217.jpeg) OS: Win 10 64-bit Home Mobo: Gigabyte X570S AORUS Elite AX CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core, 32-Thread, no overclocking RAM: 64 Gb. Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ I’ve read both threads here on issues with Cubase but even the more recent for Cubase 13 where the user loaded it through the VSTi rack instead of the Project windows - didn’t work for me. I just got my first SoundBox instrument - Tranfigured Orchestra by Sonora Cinematic, so for now the only SB instrument I have. Symptoms of problem: **1. No Sound** As seen in opening screenshot, I can get the instrument to load, but even though the virtual keyboard responds to both MIDI notes on the track and live playing, so sound. I have everything set to Any and all MIDI inputs - or global. I’ve loaded this as a duplicate of another track and as a “virgin” new one. Same thing happens. **2. Hide or Delete SoundBox Track = Cubase 12 & 14 Freeze (Crash)** Have to nuke them in Task Manager. This sometimes also corrupts my .cpr file where I get a Steinberg “can’t find license” as I fire the progs up again. So have to use a .bak file before Sound Box was every loaded. I’m not an engineer or pro musician but have been using Cubase for 23 years, so not a newbie to the DAW environment and to VSTi and how they work (i.e. have NI Kontakt Komplete and others). I have uninstalled SoundBox through a thorough uninstaller (Revo Uninstaller) that removes any and all traces that most uninstallers leave behind, and then re-installed. Due to that Cubase phased out VST2 in v.13, I no longer install those versions or the Mac AU since I don’t use a Mac. I’ve also rebooted my OS two times. Still stuck in no-sound and there is no point in using Sound Box right now. Help appreciated. ---

Hello @Soniclight Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear about that. Which Soundbox version are you using? Do you have the same problem in Standalone mode as well? ---

As stated in the subject line, SoundBox v.1.1.0. When I reinstalled it, I only installed the VST3 version as explained above, and did not install the standalone because I never use those versions of VSTi or fx - I only use the in-DAW versions. Because I want to be ready to record in case I come up with something fabulous… 😊 But I did try the standalone when first installed before the issue started to happen in Cubase but at that time couldn’t figure out how to load the sound patch/VSTi. ---

Thanks for the information, that does sound unusual. We encountered a similar issue once before with a user loading our Opacity library. In that case, providing a fresh download of the library resolved the problem after re-importing it. It was an isolated incident among thousands of users, so quite rare. I can only assume it was a corrupted download or extraction. I’d recommend requesting a fresh copy of the library and importing it again. Would it be possible to ask the developer to provide that? ---

OK, downloaded another copy of Transfigured Orchestra, but before I do this again, question: I keep all my NI/Kontakt and other VSTI, samples, audio and video projects, etc. on my D:\ drive due to how much space these take. And I like a streamlined OS that a backup every evening. So I created a folder for SoundBox there too and put the .sbpack in there, then loaded it in SoundBox in Cubase. — Could this be causing the problem (maybe .sbpacks only work when on the OS?) Probably not, but figured I’d ask before I end up where I was with all of this… Thanks. PS: My deleted post below was a musing on if I had Cubase rescan the entire D:\ including the SoundBox folder. But it didn’t do anything - the folder is empty in the MediaBay due to Cubase is not programmed to recognize SoundBox content. As I understand it. ---

You can change the default library location from the Settings tab. When a new location is selected, all content will be moved there, and Soundbox will use this new location moving forward. ---

Got a fresh new copy of the instrument, created a new track, loaded it - I now realize that one has to double-click on the instrument to turn the choice to red font for sound to happen. Most presets in VSTi are single click. So audio issue is fixed. But: … when just disabling or deleting the track with the Sound Box instrument, Cubase still freezes and I have to nuke it through Task Manager. Cubase does not create a DMP file for a freeze but I looked online and would have to download, install and then run [ProDump64](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procdump) while Cubase is launched and used to recreate this and then provide that DMP file. Getting complicated, but will see if I can do this. ---

I’ve sent you a PM with our upcoming version 1.1.1, which we believe resolves this issue. This version will be officially released in a few days, along with some new features and a tutorial. Please let me know if it addresses the problem on your end. ---

**YES** , v.1.1.1. solved the issue! Thank you. Testing on disabling and deleting a SouncBox track that froze Cubase every time… now no problemo. One thing I noticed - or didn’t see with v.1.1.0 – was needing to restart Windows after fresh install. Maybe that locked in something for Cubase and/or Windows to work right with SoundBox that the previous version didn’t. At least on my OS which I have tweaked some under-the-hood over the years since Windows XP. But I’m no programmer - just a bit geeky - and doubt that those changes affected SoundBox. Just glad things are working. 😊 ---

ok. I’m not the only one. I just put soundbox in my template and whenever I enable/disable the track, it’s a HARD freeze!! Did anyone get back to you with a solution? ---

Hi @SemantixSound , Can you please make sure that you are using the latest 1.1.1 version of Soundbox? ---

I think I must’ve downloaded the program literally days before 1.1.1came out so I just re-downloaded this latest version and it seems OK. Thanks so much.
