Hi Donna, you may want to try our recipe for Bread Machine Sourdough Bread and see how it works for you. Because the bread machine tends to speed the process up quite a bit, we add yeast for the rise, and plenty of sourdough starter for flavor. It may be that the other recipes you've tried just don't adapt well to the bread machine. For those type of recipes using the dough cycle or just using the bread machine for kneading may be the way to go.
