Guess this is worth a shot -

I have BB 2005(163) and Vista Service pack 1. I very recently re-instaled Vista from the OEM h/d partition.

Using Microsoft GS wavetable, BB has no sound on the left channel. Other MIDI players use the wavetable without a problem. So does Power Tracks playing a MIDI file. Audio files (wav, mp3) play fine with Win Media Player and Audacity.

BB plays both channels through USB to my Casio keyboard, BUT panning the instruments has no effect. The problem with the wavetable is there even when the keyboard is totally disconnected. No other synths (except MIDI mapper - which also gets no left channel sound)

I've uninstalled, deleted, and re-installed BB several times to no avail.

I have an identical (hardware and Vista) machine where BB runs fine with the wavetable. Also on an older XP machine. (I am the only user of BB on any of these.)

Any ideas would be appreciated. I've about decided to just use the keyboard. I could re-install the O/S but I just did that and it's a long process (mostly getting rid of the junk HP installs besides Vista).

Thanks
