Hi,

With your 2020 version, did you run that from the hard drive of your computer or from a PG Music USB drive?

If you ran it from a USB drive, did you install the PlusPak and Bonus Material to the USB drive?

Regards,
Noel

Are you using the 32-bit version? Try the 64-bit version

Hi,
I had the same problem.. I use a external usb sound card system "Presonus audiobox USB 96"
That was the problem for me, it worked perfectly with 2020 version but not at all with 2021 version.
What I did: went to BB / Preferences/ found intrface.bbw file renamed it intrfaceold.bbw and run biab again... all personnal config is loste but the program is starting.. could only work with asio for all or "WAS" configuration..
A bug that will be fixed I hope in next patch.

This has also been reported. There is something about some choices of audio driver, as you say.

MME worked fine for me but if I tried ASIO BIAB 2021 crashed consistently. Yes, I too am using PreSonus AudioBox 22 VSL. I updated the PreSonus software this morning but it did not help.

Deb, look at post above.
Start BIAB in MME or Wasapi, with ASIO interface disconnected. Change driver setting in BIAB to ASIO (with actual interface still disconnected) Close out of BIAB. Connect interface. Launch BIAB. See, if it resolves.

This did not work for me. I even completely removed any interface from windows (uninstalled etc.) I do not have any interface connected to the computer at all and it still just exits out of splash screen. I can never get into BIAB to change driver settings to anything.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

No luck here. I did send the error message to support just now. So, we'll see what happens.

Thanks, Rustyspoon, for the help. Appreciate it very much.

This worked and I was able to start the program after this. Thanks.

My installation is on an internal M2 NVMe drive and bb folder is at the root of the drive. I am running the 64 bit version on a new PC where the 2020 version was installed and was working fine.

To remove the preferences is what has been suggested by the PG Music support but I have lost all my favorites styles and why the thousands of style not sure If I will start to build the Favorite Styles another time.

Now as some of you I have tried to select my RME Fireface UFX ASIO driver but it crashed BB2021 each time I have an access violation message in module bbw64.exe
I cannot get out of the program and I need to make a Ctrl+alt+suppr to get the Task manager to stop BIAB 2021

I think this release is too buggy and I will go back to the 2020 version until this is sorted

Some users are experiencing issues using ASIO in Band-in-a-Box and RealBand 2021 - we are working on it, but for now try switching your driver type to WAS. This should offer roughly the same performance as ASIO.
