Status:
- I just installed BIAB 2021 on my Win10 PC.
- I have an old (never used) M-audio Axiom 49 keyboard controller.
- I bought the controller years ago new but the project got put aside and the keyboard was in storage until now.

Issues:

A - Launching BIAB I get this notice:
"Windows Audio Session Error: Could not select the default input device. The error number is -9985"

B - Launching RealBand I got 2 popup screens on the first RB launch.
I was unprepared and clicked "X" for each of the popup's.
Should have hit the screen capture key for each but in the confusion I failed to do so.
Now I can't get them back to see what info they need.

Question 1:
How can I get the 2 initial setup screens back for RealBand?

Question 2:
Should I have my M-Audio Axiom 49 controller connected and its driver installed before I launch either BIAB or RB?

Question 3: (Off topic maybe)
The CD that came with the Axiom 49 is very old (way before Win 10) so I'm guessing I need a new driver for the controller. M-Audio does not list one for the original Axiom 49.
Does anyone have any idea where I can get a driver for the old M-Audio Axiom 49?

I'm sure I'll have more questions before I can get all this to work so thanks for everyone's patience and assistance.

I did look online for video's illustrating how to connect your controller to your PC and get BIAB & RB setup to take input from the controller... but I failed to find it. If there is one a link would be helpful.

Thanks for any help.
