Hi, i have been working on an important project for days and audacity had been working fine on my computer until today when i tried to playback something i had just recorded. i am hitting the play button but nothing at all is happening...earlier a dialogue box popped up but I forget what it said and i cant get it to come up again...i think it said something about checking the output device and bit rates? but i have no idea what that means...

Emm,

Have you tried shutting down and restarting your computer? I've found that when sound issues arise, a complete shutdown is often the solution.

Regards,
Noel

Will the file play in WMP (Windows Media Player) or your default music/audio player? If not then I would suspect that the file become corrupted somehow. Typically not the fault of Audacity.

I'm assuming you have the Windows version of BIAB?

When you saw that dialogue box appear, were you in Audacity or BIAB? Also, what version of each do you have?

I Googled your error message and now believe that your registry has become corrupted. The first step would be to scan for and remove any malware or viruses. After doing so, read and apply the tips found here:

It's a trusted site.

Important note: In the future, help us to help you by giving more details about your setup. That's actually quicker in the long run.

I think I'd uninstall Audacity, restart the machine and re-install audacity first. That should remove registry entries and reset them on install. Important to reboot after uninstalling though.
Resorting to registry entries as a first step is frowned upon here.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
