Well, I am overwhelmed by your optimisim and encouragement! Really! But, here is what I did and what happened...

The BIAB tech told me to download new SoundMAX drivers from Dell - well, actually, he did while he was in control of my computer. But, he wouldn't install them. Said to have Dell do it.

So, just now, I took a chance and installed them, and when the computer rebooted, I checked and the Input Port and the Output Port audio drivers are CONNECTED!

And, the program, with just a small test, seems to work just fine. I can record my melody into a New Song and listen to play back. The notes even show up on the screen!

There is just one tiny problem. When I click on REPLAY I am getting this message in a box:

Audio and/or Dxi Output will be silent. The ASIO4ALL drive is not connectm, likely due to your using a soft-synth (like GS-WaveTable) for MIDI. Reboot Windows if persists.

But, when I click off BIAB performs correctly I haven't tried the reboot yet, but I will.

Suddenly, the world looks a little brighter.

Now, how do I get a microphone to work without blowing up the sound in BIAB?

Thanks to all,
