Every time I open Band in a Box 2018 the program shows this message:
Windows Audio Session Error: Could not open stream. The error number is -9996.

What is this?

I bought an upgrade from 2017 version. I alreade installed the 503 and 503 updates.

Help me Please!

Luis,

See if this helps for the moment...

1. Open 'Audio | Audio Driver and Settings'.

2. Make sure that the driver is MME (and not WAS or ASIO).

I've found that it's always best to begin solving problems by using the MME driver because it's the most stable with BIAB.

Does this help?

Regards,
Noel

In addition to the good information above, if MME is unsuccessful, try WAS but also try selecting the following steps:

Thanks Trev. The "Use default device" selection slipped my mind!

Very good. Note that the ‘Windows Audio Session’ error you reported is the WAS driver that BIAB was using. Still, the current updates were supposed to have fixed this error. If you go back to WAS and still get the error, we will report it.

Dear Matt

Thanks for the answer.

I installed updates 503 and 504 after that the program changed the audio to WAS driver and the same error happened. I changed it again to MME and it worked. I change to ASIO and it´s working like a charm!

Thanks, guys!

Best wishes from Rio de Janeiro
