Thank you Mario and Matt. Great points. I do indeed have a monitor with speakers and a high end AMD graphics card with audio. I've had those drivers disabled from the get go. A search through online reviews of my specific motherboard model this morning found several saying the internal audio has problems of various types. That, along with Mario's confirming he has no problems with using whatever he has (save for the playback of style demos) was enough for me to conclude this is not a BiaB problem, rather it's my motherboard.
