Hi all,
I just puchased BIAB and went through the install etc. I am having a great deal of difficulty getting either BIAB or Realband to output any decent kind of volume levels. This is happening to audio, midi and dxi synths (ie CoyoteWT). Its almost to the point of being unusable. I have to crank the pc's system mixer to bust to get any kind of volume out of these programs and out of my speakers.
As an example I have some audio ( wavs & mp3) which I previously recorded and I know to be optimized to near 0db. In windows media player or vlc player they play just fine at a good volume level and without cranking the speakers. When I import these files into BIAB or Realband I can hardly hear them on playback even though the pc's mixer/speakers volume level hasn't been changed. I can max out the BIAB mixer and it doesn't seem to make much difference.

I've done a search here on the forum and discovered some references to adjusting individual program volumes with the system mixer but that's limited to what the system speakers can do.

I'm using windows 8 and biab2013 on a laptop. I had previously posted another message indicating that the problem may be in the laptop output and speakers but I have now checked the sound output with both headphones and external speakers and see a definite difference in volume levels between biab and realband compared to other programs playing the same file. Its a huge difference.
I'm a novice and just don't know where to go on this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Are there any types of ini files or such where this can be adjusted?
Thanks!

Terry
