Hi all this is my first post here.
After installing Windows 10 I get no sound from BIAB. The follow message appears:
"Output driver is installed properly but is currently in use by another program."
Hope someone can help me.
My version is Band in a Box 12 Pro version.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe:
Your ASIO driver is occupied and it can only handle one app at a time and BIAB is not it. Switch to MME in Audio settings and you should hear sound. Then figure out what application is grabbing you ASIO.

I don't know what it is, but it has happened to me too and i use exclusively MME and don't have W10 installed. I normally shut off the program and start again.

Welcome to the forum. First, it should reassure you to know that BIAB runs fine under Windows 10. I've been doing it and PG Music has tested and confirmed this. PG Music has that error message listed in three FAQ answers. Try looking at these. They are out of date and mostly deal with an old MIDI software synth, but perhaps you will see something: http://www.pgmusic.com/techfaq37.htm#141http://www.pgmusic.com/techfaq37.htm#111http://www.pgmusic.com/techfaq37.htm#76We also need to know what you are using for MIDI sound, and what your BIAB settings are as mentioned above. I would have thought the "ASIO limited to one output" was the correct answer.

I've now got the same problem with my Zoom UAC-2 drivers. Logged on tonight and wham no sound, drivers don't exist. No idea why. Stuffed. Just wasted 3 hours installing and uninstalling audio interface drivers. Making sure Zoom disconnected, switched off etc. Windows 10 doesn't recognise it any more. Brand new USB 3 hardware audio interface. New PC etc. Last time it happened I just reinstalled the drivers.   Nothing to do with BIAB (lol).

I had to reinstall a driver this morning. The device isn't even showing up. I suspect a Windows 10 update, since nothing else changed.

I am prompted to "Set an alternate output driver..."
then I click "Ok use alternate driver..."
but the only option that appears is Microsoft GS Wavetable
so again a message appears: "unable to install alternate midi output driver Microsoft GS...it may be in use by another programme..."

I believe "Microsoft GS Wavetable" is your MIDI output driver and is not the optimum selection choice. What were you using in the past as you output synth for midi? BIAB, if specified, can install the Coyote GM synth which is a better option.

Hi GCB, Try running this patch.... it fixes a bug with the Coyote synth on Windows 10. I'm not sure if you're using that synth, but it's no harm to run the patch. (if you are using the Coyote GM synth, you can then choose it as a synth instead of MS GS Wavetable driver. http://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#CoyoteWT12
Have Fun!

Mike, to close the loop so we know better how to help the next person: did you apply the patch given by Dr. Gannon? Or are you saying Windows Update alone cured this?
If it's the latter, be aware that simply rebooting may have fixed it, regardless of the update. With multiple variables, it's always hard to draw a conclusion.
Or - are you reporting that you never had this problem despite several Windows 10 updates?

Sorry, Matt. I should have been more specific. I never had this issue. I saw your note about having to reinstall a driver after a Windows Update. So, I rebooted after applying the updates and I am functioning just as well as I did BEFORE the Windows 10 Updates.
In summary: no issues before the updates, none after applying the updates.

It did not function but thanks anyway for helping.
PG music online service explained that my BIB version 12 pro from 2003 has a compatibility problem and suggested to download Coyote.
But then I found a simple solution: there is a free program,CoolSoft Virtual Midi Synth which I installed and solved the problema.
I am getting sound now from my old BIAB.

For what it's worth, I got my sounds back in Windows 10 on my interface. I unplugged the USB 3 connection to the zoom UAC-2 on the computer (as the manual says!) then uninstalled the drivers for the Zoom UAC-2 audio interface and the Zoom software, as well as any other audio drivers Windows would let me zap. Then I rebooted and re-installed the Zoom software and rebooted. Then connected the Zoom USB 3 connection, switched it on and rebooted the computer. All working fine again. I just hope tonight when I switch the PC back on it still all works. I've got harmonies and guitar coming in stereo to the zoom via a Voicelive 2 vocal processor which the zoom mixes with the BIAB backing tracks via its loopback function. Good sound. Just need to tweak the Voicelive 2 as a find it a bit overbearing and some of the settings are less than practical. I drive the harmonies from an acoustic guitar although previously I drove the harmonies via midi from BIAB which also worked well. The Zoom has a midi interface as well as the two audio interfaces, so it's pretty straightforward. Live I'll probably drive the voice live from guitar or mp3.

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."
