Thanks Rick
Very useful to have and must have taken some compiling.
Even though I've used BB for ages, but often with breaks, the 'how do I' question crops up when I just cant recall stuff. This is a big help.

Thanx Rick,
This will come in handy for when I have one of my many old timer brains farts.
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Hi JHalpin, to correct your sample rate mismatch error, try this:
Right click on the Start menu and choose Settings, then click on System followed by Sound. Scroll to the bottom and choose Sound Control Panel.
Under the Playback tab, choose your default audio device (with the Green checkmark), then click on Properties. Go to the Advanced tab and choose 16-bit 44100 Hz (CD Quality) and click OK. If there is only the option of 24-bit 44100 Hz (Studio Quality), choose that instead.
Next, do the same on the Recording tab with the device that has the Green checkbox. Click Properties, go to the Advanced tab, and choose 16-bit 44100 Hz (CD Quality) and click OK. If there is only the option of 24-bit 44100 Hz (Studio Quality), choose that instead.
Once that is done, click OK on the Sound window, then go back to Band-in-a-Box and make sure it is working.

Never did hear back from this Ricklombard guy. He registered back in October of 2019 and made a single forum post in September 2020 about this guide he posted. Then the guide he posted disappears and he is never heard from again.
Very strange.

Maybe he was disappointed to spend all the effort to create the file and the post initially only received two responses? Agree it's strange. Too bad too. Looks like he had a lot to offer to the forum.
