Do you have the latest drivers for you audio hardware? If you start a fresh project and add some loops,does playback work? If you select a file in the AMS explorer, and click the preview button, does it play? Peter

You check your device driver mode in preferences - audio device. There are many ways to configure audio on Windows. Make sure that you have Windows configured first is important. You should contact our tech support directly if you cannot work it out. Peter

What audio hardware are you using?

What driver model are you using in AMS?

Do you have the latest drivers for you audio hardware?

If you start a fresh project and add some loops,does playback work?

If you select a file in the AMS explorer, and click the preview button, does it play?
