Hi Ricky,

"Legacy Audio Drivers" in XP means that you must be using a sound device or soundcard that is built into the motherboard of your computer.

The only drivers that should be available for such are MME Windows Sound Drivers, which under XP would be the WDM sound drivers.

These have difficulty when trying to play a software MIDI synth in realtime with a keyboard controller. As you have found out.

But there is an answer for this that doesn't cost anything more than a bit of your time to download and install the ASIO4ALL software. This will convert your Windows Sound device to be able to run as if it has ASIO sound drivers and thus take advantage of being able to play that keyboard thru the VSC DXi in realtime. Works a treat and matter of fact, BiaB has been optimized for use with it as of a few versions back.

You can download the free ASIO4ALL here:

Read the directions and follow them to install.

Once installed, open BB and under the Options menu, choose "MIDI/Audio..." and then hit the Sound Settings button to the lower right, above the Help button. Use the dropdown that says, "MME" to select ASIO drivers and when the next window opens, highlight ASIO4ALL out of the list.

Be sure to check, "ASIO Always On" before exiting.

On some machines it is sometimes necessary to hit the Play button once in BiaB before you can play and hear the DXi synth in realtime.
