    Have you checked that your 'midi music playback device' is set? It should be set to your primary sound hardware by default, but who knows in this case.

    Does Cakewalk require a dongle, and if so, are you sing a legit copy (don't answer that question)? Sometimes dongle cracks have been known to mess with system audio hardware/software.
