Anyone use Sonar with midi control?

[IronBone]

So, I've had this problem with syncing the d8b to my pc through midi to get control of the transport buttons. I got a few suggestions last time I posted about this issue, but I still don't have full functionality of the transport buttons. I can get the numbers to roll when I start playback on the software but still can't get the buttons to work.

Does anyone have specific knowledge of the d8b being used with sonar, x1 or x3? I am using a RME hammerfall sound card with the midi breakout cable, and I have the breakout cable for the cpu. I have been though all the preferences, midi, and clock settings and I feel like there is something simple that I am missing with the MTC or MMC settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Other than this midi issue, this board and setup has been working pretty flawlessly and this would be the final touch that would make me much more content with this setup.
