For some reason I can't hear my thru channel - I'm using the Coyote VST/DXi/snyth...it plays the instruments on other midi channels... and I can hear the keyboard play on the thru channel if I hit record and it will record the keyboard.... However when I stop I can't hear it anymore...
To my knowledge I didn't change any of the midi settings or drivers...and I can hear the keyboard if I switch to another program like Sonar...
I am totally baffled

I'm assuming you mean you can't hear it during BIAB playback. Also assuming a recent-year version of BIAB, did you expand the bottom of the mixer (right side of screen) to reveal the Audio and Thru channels, and check the volume?

Matt-
I should have said I can't hear it.... When I expand the mixer the vu level moves and then when I put it in piano mode on the mixer, the notes play, but I can;t hear anything....I know there must be a simple fix...but I can't figure it out...
I'm not a newbie I have had BIAB since it came out in the '80's and have very upgrade PG music has put out....

.. and I can hear the keyboard play on the thru channel if I hit record and it will record the keyboard.... However when I stop I can't hear it anymore... I think this is expected behavior; BB needs to be running (either play/record) for a softsynth to make sound via the MIDI input. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I think it has always been like this. Maybe your windows default synth changed (which is what makes the sound outside of BiaB or RB)
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Thanks for your response...but that's not true....
I've always been able to hear my keyboard triggering the VST/DXI synth without hitting playback or record....And I was able to do it in BIAB 2016 until last week...Now I do have to hit either playback or record to hear it.
I know I must have hit some dialog box that won't let me hear the thru..... but again I'm at a loss

Deacon, Try this and see if it helps. I haven't tested it because I don't have a midi keyboard setup right now. When I went to MIDI OPTIONS "Help" by following the 1, 2, 3, on the second image, it said...   That would be #4 on the image above. Let us know how you go. Regards, Noel

Noel-
My dialog box is exactly checked the same way as it is on your screen shot, but no luck...
What is infuriating is that when I expand the mixer I can see the vu meter move on the thru channel....put the mixer in piano dialog and the keys I hit are highlighted....but no sound...
Then if I hit play and solo, the thru channel it plays perfectly and I can hear the channel.
I am at a total loss... I'm assuming I did something to make this happen.... but again, I have no idea what I did or how to fix it.

Deacon, Have you tried returning to factory settings? If it were me, I'd save my present setup using the option under the Options menu. Then I'd run the bottom option of return to factory settings which sets everything back to how the program is set from PG Music. If that doesn't work, then I'd load my previous settings back in. Regards, Noel

Deacon,
Before you return to factory settings, go to the control panel or click on the speaker icon to check your Windows playback audio mixer settings. Something may have muted or a volume level fader may have moved to the 0 position. That mixer seems to have a mind of its own.

Try going to Options | MIDI/Audio Driver Setup, then click on the Audio settings button. In the Audio Settings dialog, if you have ASIO drivers selected as your Audio Driver Type, click on the Audio Drivers button, and make sure that the 'ASIO Always On' checkbox is checked.

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!

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.
