Trygve,
Just to double-check...
You mentioned earlier that you have everything installed on your computer's internal hard drive.
Does this mean that you run your computer without the Audiophile drive plugged in?
If you do keep the USB drive plugged in for the wav file Realtracks and Realdrums, could you unplug it for the moment so that you are running entirely from your computer. You will need to go into the Realtrack preferences and Realdrum preferences and remove the checkmark from "Use a custom folder for Realtracks/Realdrums" if the audio drive was used for wav files. (When trying to sort out problems, I've found that it's much better to keep it simple to begin with.)
With the above in mind, I'd like to go back to square 1 at the moment.
I need to make sure that your MIDI and audio drivers are suitably set.
1. Select "Options | Preferences".
2. Click on the "MIDI Driver" button. (It's on the top row of buttons and 5th from the left.)
Now... as shown on the image below...
3. Select "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" (#1 on image).
4. Where the image shows 'Cakewalk TTS-1' in #2 and #5, click on both these buttons and select Coyote WT from the drop down menus.
5. Make sure that checkboxes #3 and #4 are selected (as shown).
6. On button #7, check that MME is selected as the audio driver. If it is not, click on the button and set it. (MME is always the best audio driver to use when solving problems.)
When you set this up, what did you have to change?
Also, give the above settings a trial test without the USB drive plugged in and let me know how things went.
Regards, Noel Thank's a lot again Noel... No, I did not install all, just the option 2 in the installation procedure.. Only the WMA files... Today I installed BB on my laptop to see if the same happen, I followed ur description here to the letter, after installing the 463 update.. Exactly the same happen on my laptop as on my desktop... I first generated a new song with real track, dragged 3 of the tacks to the midi drop station, and it worked fine, except when I tried to auditioned it within BB. No sound. But when I open the the folder and played the files with WMP, there was sound. Tried it with two different songs, and no problems. Then I open my song from 2016 and tried to drop one real track to the midi drop station, and BANG, BB crashed again ! All the other tracks went red first, but when i tried to do anything, BANG. But hey, wait... When I was writing this, I was thinking, let me try just one more track, so I open just now, another 2016 track, and to my surprise, it worked ! Hm... Could it be just that one track I always tried, because this track I need the midi for in a project, is corrupted? Because I observed something strange when I open it, that the name of the song was no longer the name of the file I open, but the name of another song of me... Hm.. Have to try more tracks now... Yepps yepps, IT WORKS ! Just tried 3 other tracks from 2016 and all 3 worked... So ok, just have to use another song for my project.. Thank's a lot again for all ur patient work to help me out Joel
