IntroductionSetup ► Changing I/O devices

The Missing Audio Outputs dialog box will suggest default assignments for any missing devices. You can click OK to accept the assignments, or click Cancel to preserve the original missing device assignments. You can also preserve the original missing device by selecting [Unassigned] from the Available Devices list. If you choose not to reassign a missing device, the Output port selection in SONAR will show the missing device name prefixed by MISSING.
When Use friendly names to represent audio drivers is selected in Edit > Preferences > Audio - Devices, SONAR can intelligently remap devices across different hardware configurations or driver models by using your assigned friendly driver names, even if the hardware names do not match.
Changing MIDI output ports in Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Devices has the following effect:
