No other media than BiaB, that I can recall. And yeah, frustrating: my kid is on me. She's been bugging me for weeks to get this going.
Windows mixer, though, is something I don't understand in this context, so maybe that's it. On my recording page of Windows mixer, I have three items: Microphone, Digital-In and What-U-Hear, all going through the Sound Blaster. Which, if I understand correctly, I am using NONE of. (Although I could use the mic.)
For playback, I've got 1 - VX2757, AMD High Definition Audio Device, listed as "Ready" and then "2 - Digital Display Audio (not plugged in)" "3 - (same)" through "6 - (same)". Speakers as the default device and SPDIF-OUT as ready—but I'm pretty sure not in use.
Pfeh.

It seems odd to me that you would have Soundblaster 'Recording' ports available in Windows and not in 'Playback'. You said earlier that you didn't think the input port was needed and that fixed things. Have you tried that again? I had not, because when it gets to the part where you're setting the ASIO input, I know I'm not using any of the available inputs. OR SO I THOUGHT! I went through it anyway and WTFOMG I can actually use the keyboard to play while BiaB is playing! I do not understand this at all but whatevs. For now it's working!    Thank you for pounding it into my thick skull!
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Sorry, that last one (SPDIF-OUT) is the Soundblaster.

It hadn't changed. So I reset the factory settings and went through the steps again. Aaannnd...no joy.

Oh, I notice that later down the thread, Ron says something about "Build 456". I apparently have, I think, 454. (It reads "Version 2017 (454)".) I assume 456 is a minor bump because the auto-update doesn't detect it, but I don't see how to get it (if I do, in fact, need it).

Welp. No joy there. Going over that list on how to get play-through I see:
>>6. Thru channel midi patch of your choice.
Which I think I'm setting by double-clicking on "thru" and selecting (whatever) as a patch. I don't actually get how it picks which of the tracks is the "thru".

Note: Your sound card should function INDEPENDENTLY of any software that needs to use it.
When I turn my DAW computer on and just let it boot up on it's own before I ever load any recording or music software... at some point in that boot up process, the sound card starts to pass AUDIO automatically. It doesn't automatically pass midi because midi needs a synth for output.
Looking into the in/out settings in your software, you should be able to see ALL of the available inputs and outputs that the computer sees as available.
If the computer sees it, it's available. Then it's just a matter of assigning a synth to read that data and provide the audio output back to the sound card.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

OK, I should have done this before but—I rebooted and now I have sound coming out of the card. I can't seem to change the volume or character of the sound, and it only makes noise when I'm recording (despite following that post from the guy saying it should make sound all the time). But it's a start.

Also, noting here that the latest build made this a lot less twitchy...
