I had the same problem were when i auditioned a RT it came out my laptop speakers, but when i played a song it came thru my audiobox USB. I have to go into the sound setup of the computer under control panel and tell it to use Audiobox as the default sound system.

Since BIAB now turns off ASIO when you do the preview, I wonder if it is picking up your default audio setting. Why not try selecting MME and choose your AudioBox as the MME audio driver, then turn ASIO back on with the AudioBox. See if it then auditions on the AudioBox. Just a thought; can't hurt to try...

This has nothing to do with playing the Demo song tracks.

First, go to Opt. menu --> Audio/MIDI setup inside BB and hit the Audio button, make sure that your audiobox usb is listed there for input and output and is highlighted.

NOTE: If you do not plug in the USB device and wait for the system to recognize it before you start up BB, Band in a Box likely won't be able to "see" it. BB doesn't refresh that info on the fly like some other audio programs do. At least, it never has here. That means you cannot plug in your USB audio device after BB is opened and expect to hear it.

You can safely keep ASIO4ALL on the system when using an aftermarket sound device that has its own sound drivers.

I do it all the time, and have for years on the laptop. That way, if the USB sound device isn't along on the trip, I just select ASIO4ALL to use with the built in sound.

When you are trying to hear ASIO with the USB device, what exactly are you selecting in the Audio Window?
