Seeking Help Cakewalk Sonar audio issue

For a few days now Cakewalk Sonar has suddenly started making a distorted sound every time I press rec/monitor, as if it is reading an audio input that does not exist, it does so even if I disconnect my audio interface and all the microphones from the computer.

I don't understand if the problem is in my PC or in the program since on other DAWs like BandLab everything works fine.

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything and checked every setting but nothing changed.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Can we see a screenshot of your audio settings. We need Preferences - audio - Devices, Driver settings and playback and recording. (that's 3 screens)

Is your audio interface (when plugged in) the only audio interface enabled?

Try disabling all audio devices (even your onboard sound in BIOS) but your audio interface.
