I run Windows 7 and my settings are shown on the image below.

As you can see from #4, my soundcard is set at 16 bit and 480000 Hz. Because Windows audio is 16/44100, BIAB sounds need to be resampled and upscaled to become 16/48000. This could potentially create problems if it's not handled well.

The 16/48000 soundcard settings are constant whether I use MME, ASIO, WAS drivers. They're properties of the soundcard. The drivers provide the pathway for the audio to get to the soundcard.

By activating the option "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device", I just let BIAB make the decisions about what to do.

See if you can find this option in your soundcard settings.

I can access Windows soundcard settings by...

(a) right-clicking on Windows speaker icon

(b) "Audio > Recording mixer" in BIAB

Hope this helps,
Noel
