Kent, those settings are something I do check on occasion. And they're pretty much always set to agreement with BiaB, namely 16/44.1k. One thing about my M-Audio, when BiaB is resident, it is locked into 44.1k, so I couldn't set it to a higher number even if I tried. I asked the tech about this and he said that 44.1k is the only rate that BiaB will use.

Fiddler, I plan to get another audio interface. Ideally, I'd like to figure out why my Scarlett 2i4 isn't working. And my Alesis interface, which is just okay, requires ASIO4ALL to run, which I don't particularly like using. I've got my eyes on a few that are up at auction right now -- a couple of Tascams and an M-Audio Ultra. The latter appears to be the most powerful of the three. Still a couple of days before the auctions close.

I have an iPad with a lot of music apps on it, so the interface will mostly be used to replace the broken Scarlett for use with my iPad, but I plan to give it a go on my DAW too, see if off-loading the audio tasks to an interface might free up resources and take care of some of the problems I've been having. Besides, I can most definitely use the MIDI ports.

Regarding this whole HDMI business, I've just run into another problem that I actually don't think is related to my PC at all. My monitor has two HDMI "in" ports. I have another HDMI cable running from the second port to a set top box for my cable access and then to my home stereo for audio. This way I can watch TV on my Ultra Wide monitor. Well, this morning I switched the monitor over to the second HDMI port and turned on the stereo and set top box, set the stereo to Video 1, same as I always do. I'm getting a picture, but no sound. And I'm thinking, there's no way any of this can be related to my PC, can it? I mean, the monitor, when used like this, is no longer part of my PC system, right? Unless that NVidia is piggybacking somehow and screwing things up. I've tried restarting the set top box and the stereo and neither had an effect. Next I need to go check connections just to be 100% sure that nothing physical has changed. Puzzling.
