Berntd is correct. Opened up BBW64.EXE I loaded up a random song, muted all the tracks and turned up the volume and the background noise sounds like a buzzing sound in the background at a medium frequency. Sounds like bad un-grounded audio cable on a stage, which it obviously is not. The noise is coming from BIAB.

I did not have to even play a few bars. The noise is generated as soon as I hit the play button. When I press stop or pause, it goes away but comes back when I resume playing. Got the same results on my laptop as I did on my desktop.

Did the same settings with BBW.EXE and it was quiet, no noise. Tried various settings, even reset it to factory settings and the results are the same. I could not make it go away.

I normally run everything through a mixer before going to my studio monitors so I normally keep the output from the computer at a low volume. I would not even have noticed it if it had not been brought up here in the forum.

To me is does sound like the 64bit version is introducing unwanted noise in the background when the volume is turned up really high.
