1) When I'm in songpicker screen, or style picker screen, I select a style, but it will not play for me. Everything else is fine. If I select a style, I load it into my DAW and I can hear it fine. But I cannot hear the style demo at all.

2) The 14,000 songs in BIAB...I can find the titles and click on them. It takes me to the select matching styles dialog box. I can't demo them. Same thing. No audio, although it says it is playing. Are these 14,000 songs there for style suggestions only, or is there chord, key and tempo data associated with these titles?

This is a lot more than back in 2009 lol.

I can try answering #1.
When you load the style without "hearing" (auditioning) it in songpicker, will BIAB play that once loaded.

If yes, check that your drive C:(or something else)/bb/Demos
folder is not empty. For the Ultra Pack, I believe it should be 4.35 GB.

If you load the style and it does not play in BIAB, check your audio driver settings. Option->Midi/Audio Drivers setup. See if you got the right driver there.

Is the DAW ASIO holding the driver so windows can't use it to play the demo wma's ?

you can use Voicemeeter Banana,
set windows to use hardware input 1 or 2
set your audio app to use MME input 1 or 2
or ASIO VoiceMeeter ASIO or Voicemeeter ASIO AUX
set the hardware output to your hardware audio device/s
you can download them all from the VoiceMeeter website,
or you can put a lead from the line out of you onboard audio to a line in on your external audio device and set windows to the onboard device.

OK. The audio settings in my windows were changed in the installation. Not sure why. I am now hearing all styles demo-ed. WooHoo!

Now I need to begin composition of a new song. For the labor involved, I'd rather do something original as opposed to covers.
