I have Band in a Box set to play out through my RME Fireface UFX, but the Style Picker audition plays through the computer's internal sound card. How do I fix it, so it all comes through the Fireface UFX?

StylePicker audition audio playback likely is using the default Windows audio system, not the audio system inside Band-in-a-Box.

Another audio feature that doesn't use the Band-in-a-Box audio system is Chord builder.

Sometimes audio drivers will not properly release when a program switches between playback of audio that originates outside the program and audio that originates from inside the program. In this case the audition file is an audio file residing on your storage drive outside the program.

Please go to Options | MIDI Audio Driver Setup | Audio Settings | Audio Drivers. Then uncheck the box for ASIO Always On and test if you can now hear the Style auditioning in the Style Picker.


Best,

I had the impression that the O/P could always hear the demo from the StylePicker, except it was playing though the computer's internal sound card and not the external sound system.

I don't seem to have this issue. I get the audio from whatever I have selected in the system preferences for BIAB no matter what I am doing in the program. I use the style picker audition every day and have no issue with it not coming from my external interface if that is my selected driver.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Go to Options | MIDI Audio Driver Setup | Audio Settings | Audio Drivers and make sure your external device is set as the audio driver. There should be nothing more required to then use that device to hear the audio.

If you are using ASIO driver and your external device is in use by another program while you are trying to audition styles, BIAB will not be able to use it (usually) and on my system it reverts to the default windows sound device.

If for whatever strange reason setting the output under Audio Settings | Audio Drivers doesn't do it, you can try going into your computers sound settings and try setting the device you want the sound to come out of as your default playback device and see if that helps. Normally when you set your audio output within Band-in-a-Box it will just play the device you've selected, so that should be enough. But that would be a work around if for some reason it was trying to pull a default device instead.
