Thanks for your post marcus, but after doing a deep dive into what the issue is I finally figured it out on my own. I wanted to post here in case anyone else has the same issue and does not needlessly spend hours trying to find an answer. It seems the BIAB VSTi is not a normal VSTi that uses the host apps audio properties (like the selected ASIO driver in most cases), it instead relies on the default Windows Audio app for audio output. Here is the kicker, the Windows app and the DAW app MUST be using the exact same sample rate or you will not hear any audio from within the BIAB VSTi. I typically use 44.1K in my DAW projects, but the Windows audio app defaults to 48K! Once I changed the 48K to 44.1K, the audio started playing back from the BIAB VSTi. Now it works in all of my DAW apps (REAPER, SONAR, Studio One) as each one uses ASIO @ 44.1K. I have been building my own computers and using various DAW apps for over twenty years, but that was a real head scratcher for sure. This important information is not made clear in the BIAB VSTi documentation or in the BIAB VSTi video provided from PG. So PG Music, please update your documentation and video with this important info, so your users are not left in the dark as to why the BIAB VSTi is not playing back audio and getting frustrated in the process. The BIAB VSTi relys on the Windows Audio app for playback (not the DAW apps ASIO drivers) and the sample rate MUST match the DAW apps project sample rate in order to be heard. This will solve a lot of customer angst and support calls/emails to PGM support.
