I can't anything but blank tracks when I try to record using the Audio/Record Audio function.
I have four microphones and a line in, but I do not have a "What you hear" option--disabled or otherwise--on my system.
This is a super pain in the but because I cannot render either.

On top of all that, the 'What U Hear' type of function is not likely to be what you want if you are attempting to record one more track along with the other accompaniment tracks as that would end up with all tracks recorded as audio to the audio track.
You likely have to select the input where your mics are connected in the Record Properties section of your soundcard's software mixer.
And maybe also set Level in the same place.
More info as to your system, soundcard, etc. will get more definitive answers.

At the moment I am just trying to record the output of BiaB. I assume that recording external audio still works (it always did,) but without using render I cannot figure out how to generate the final output. What is the best way to record the output of BiaB?

What are you trying to record into? Software or hardware?
And what is your sound source? Internal DXI/VSTi or sound module/ synth?
Ultimately, physically or through a software mixer depending on your audio interface set up, you tap into the same output that BIAB sends to your speakers if you are using internal sounds or to the output of your sound modules/ synths if that's what you are using.
For sound modules I have their output patched into my audio interface. BIAB triggers the synths and I use Sound Forge, a wave editor, to record the input to my sound card from the modules.

Okay, now that we know you are trying to get an Audio file of the entire performance, not just adding an audio track to the performance, there may be a way for you to do this without resorting to exterior cabling.
If you are using a built in soundcard, take a look at ALL of the Record Properties section for that device. It an usually be accessed by double clicking on the little speaker icon in the taskbar, but be aware that what opens first is the PLAYBACK mixer. Look under that window's Options menu to open the Record Properties window.
Depending on what your OS is, the window may look different, but you should be able to find checkboxes that allow you to select the Recording Inputs that will be shown in the Recording software mixer.
Different sound devices use different terms for the Creative "What U Hear" recording selection, such as the one in my laptop, which uses the ternm, "Stereo Mix" to mean the same thing. You may find other ways of naming it as well. Sometimes the way to find it is to try each one in turn and then open BB and see if it records the performance as it is played back.
Finally, I have found that it is much easier here to use another recording program to do this task rather than fiddling about with the lone BB audio track, don't get me wrong, that can work, but I like to use the free Audacity program, opened at the same time as BiaB, to Record the BiaB performance. As soon as the recording is done I can use Audacity to do some trimming, such as highlighting the countin and turning it to silence, I can use the "Amplify" plugin to quickly get the overall volume up to the -0.5dB mark at the peaks and I can choose to save as .wav or save as .mp3 using the LAME encoder which is also available for free download from the Audacity home page.
If your sound device is not an internal soundcard, accessing the Recording Properties for an aftermarket card can be quite different and depends upon each card and the way the mfr's implemented things, check the manual for that card to see how to select the right Recording Property for recording what you hear. Some few USB devices and some cards that have drivers for Vista and possibly Win7 apparently don't have the feature or it is not turned on, if you do a websearch for your specifics here you may find a way to turn that back on which might be as deep as registry edits or might be something else, such as installing other drivers, etc.
