Having no sound at all after a Windows update, I managed to FINALLY get some sound for BIAB by setting the "Playback" in the Win10 "Sound" window to "Speakers, Default Device" from what I had been using, "Speakers, Sound Blaster Z".
Now I'm having trouble getting Audacity to record my BIAB song. I've tried all the combinations I can in Audacity's "Edit > Preferences > Devices" window.
For "Interface > Host" my choices are MME, Windows Direct Sound and Windows WASAPI.
For "Playback > Device" and "Recording > Device" my choices are varied depending on which of the 3 "Interface > Host" setting I choose. (I can list all the choices if needed.)
I can't seem to get any combination to work. Is there another setting I need to change somewhere? As you can see, I'm in way over my head here.
I don't know if this assists Lloyd, and it seems you have probably tried it, but if you can hear BiaB through the system's speakers, then you should just need to experiment with Audacity Recording Device settings to record the system's speakers:

Interface - Windows WASAPI Playback Device - 1) Speakers (2- High Definition Audio Device) Recording Device- A) Speakers (2- High Definition Audio Device) (loopback) =(WASAPI+1+A)
****************** out of all the possible combinations below. I'm surprised that it worked with "(loopback)" and I don't get much volume but at least I get something! Thanks for your help! LLOYD S

Fantastic, thanks for letting us know it helped. You might consider opening your original post and marking the subject as [Resolved]. There's a button available to do that.

I read through this and I have a question. Are you really using computer provided onboard sound and not an external interface? I am confused as to where Realtek audio is fitting into this puzzle. Don't you input your own devices for recording instruments and vocals? I don't really pay attention to other people's setup (as many list them in their sig file) but I don't know of too many who don't have some kind of USB based interface. Did I miss something?
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

No you didn't miss anything. The computer that this set up is referring to, is not the one that I record on. This one is set up strictly for "general household" use, like surfing the web, checking emails, checking PG Music Forums and the like. I have BIAB and RB installed on it, only for convenience of inputting chords and working with songs, figuring out styles etc. Not for recording.
Okay. That makes it clear. Micro$oft wants to own your computer and tends to set things the way THEY want it. With every new build of Windows I have to reassign my sound to my Focusrite on this computer, the studio computer, the GOxlr on my streaming computer, and the M-Audio interface on the laptop. But it is what it is.
