Jeff,

If this were my problem, here is where I'd start...

Firstly, I'd try and isolate if the Line 6 was the problem.

(It's always a good problem solving approach to begin by getting the program working without adding periphery. Once the program is going fine, then attachments, etc., can be added one at a time and the one causing the problem will usually be easy to isolate.)

1. close BIAB

2. Unplug the line 6

3. Right-click on the BIAB startup icon and select "Run as administrator" to start BIAB. (Run as admin. is probably not needed but it's good to include here 'just in case'.)

I don't know about Line 6 POD HD500 but from what I find on the internet, it looks like it's a collection of effects that are activated via pedal controls.

This means, BIAB should run without it being attached as BIAB Realstyles are audio and only require speakers for them to be heard.

4. Under "Audio" (top menu), select "Audio Drivers/Settings".

5. Set the audio driver to MME - on most systems this a really good and stable driver for testing to purposes.

6. Add some chords to BIAB's chordsheet, generate and let the song play though.

Does BIAB function properly with the Line 6 disconnected and using MME?

Regards,
Noel
