It happened again.

Shut down laptop at home with no issues, transported to restaurant for NYE gig, booted up fine and started BIAB. A few seconds after it started loading I got the error message, “Your driver uses a data format that the program doesn’t yet support”.

BIAB finished loading but locked up if I tried to look at the Audio settings or build a song file.
I deleted (actually renamed) interface.bbw and MySetup.DK. This worked, program loaded and executed fine. Gig started so I didn’t have time to investigate until later at home.

My home setup uses an M-Audio C400 USB stereo interface but at gigs for simplicity I just use the laptop headphone out into my mixer. Back home I booted up and ran BIAB with no problems, but I noticed that my audio settings showed BIAB was using the WAS interface. When I had this problem a few weeks ago I changed from ASIO to MME (I’m using BIAB for playback only, don’t need low latency). No idea how that got changed back to WAS. Is it possible some midnight W10 update somehow changed the configuration back to WAS?

As I said above, I’ve been using BIAB live for many years with no problem. I’ve been running this laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad i7 with HDD and all the ram it will hold) for 18 months, running 2018 Audiophile since Jan 2018. I’ve done maybe 30 gigs this year with no hiccups.

This evening I tried to recreate the steps that led to the problem at the gig, but could not. However, when I was messing with the Audio / ASIO settings (setting it to interfaces I’m not using) I did manage to get that same “Your driver …” error message.
