I am experiencing play back issues with BIABPRO2017. The problem seems to be three fold.
First, If I select a style from stylepicker, the tempo is always set at 85 bpm. The file will play fine until I change the tempo. If I change the tempo the playback audio gets gritty.
Second, my auto chord wizard does not make a preview sound when I select chords from it. And yes, I have sound on everything else.
Third, Realband has no sound when I load and play any type of file.
Now the background: Installed the program August 16th and contacted BIAB tech support because of an install error saving the file. I was told to install the July update. I did, program seems to work fine.
A week later I mistakenly ordered and installed Xtra Styles PAK2 and that is when the issues surfaced. The addon would not work with BIAB PRO 2017, so tech support told me to uninstall the addon, and to also delete INTERFACE.BBW and MYSETUP.DK.
From that moment on BIAB has presented the three problems I just described.

TS, this is the wrong forum for this question. Read the FAQ's shown at the top. This site has a bunch of specialized forums including Band In A Box for Windows which is where you should post this.
Noel, My Mistake, it is the chord wizard. The play back issue is the biggest problem at the moment. I will look into the chord wizard asap. Thanks for the reply.

When you deleted the above two files you mentioned, it forces BIAB to create new versions of those files. It is equivalent to doing a factory reset.
Because these two files contain all the settings, when BIAB is restarted after deleting them, BIAB will be in the same state that it is immediately after being newly installed. This means that it is now necessary to reset all the audio and midi settings. This could explain your problem.
Go into "Options | Preferences" and set up your system the same as shown on the image below by numbers 1, 2, ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6, 7.
Now, under the "Options" menu, there's an option that will allow you to save your current set up (i.e. "Save Preferences"). I suggest you do this so that if the unexpected once again happens, it will be very easy to (re)load in your settings that work.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
