If you didn't change any BiaB internal settings, I don't think this problem is caused by BiaB. Well, maybe, but it is doubtful given the info at hand.

I'm thinking there is something in the Windows settings doing this.

Control Panel -> Sounds and take a look at what is the default soundcard setting. You may have to try going back and forth there a couple times or more, trying different selections and seeing how the behavior goes. It may take time to do this as if you are doing other things with the computer between BiaB sessions, such as web surfing, running other audio programs, etc. well, something may be changing things.

Another place to look is the Control Panel for the UA soundcard. See if there are any settings in there that will let a host program control such things as bit rate. A locked soundcard that is internally set to, say, something other than 16.44.1 can wreak the kind of havoc you describe with BiaB and ASIO. The soundcard must be set up such that a host program can select the bit depth and samplerate.

Stay patient, these are typically solvable problems.

And know that you are not alone. This kind of situation almost always happens when we are new to the whole game of making Windows make music.
