I rebuilt my utility system to zippy 8-core AMD, 8 gigs RAM, SSD, and realtek audio built-in to motherboard. I reinstalled BIAB and put back all my BIAB song files from a thumb drive.

I went to change the mix/balance of a playback on a song, and went to re-render it, so that I could get a new MP3 file to put into my ipod world.

I clicked on the WAV button and on the menu clicked on save in other audio format and MP3 (which I recall automatically generates the interim WAV file.

It renders a 33MB WAV file, and prompts for the MP3 in a pop-up window. However after clicking on "save as raw mp3" or whatever in yet another pop-up window, I get an error that reads:

Driver cannot do the requested conversion

and I get an mp3 file in the target directory that is zero bytes.

I thought BIAB had some built-in rendering. I installed ASIO4ALL, but I have it disabled since I'm just playing back on my computer speakers without any MIDI instruments since I use all RealTracks and REalDrums. My sound card drivers are pretty up to date.

What could be my problem?
