I have cheap desktop speakers that came with a Gateway computer years ago. So yes, I am using PC speakers, have been for years.

The good news is that Audacity can still play my MP3 files thru these speakers no problem and the audio in YouTube videos also play just fine . . . whew ! So the audio issue is contained within RB.

Another datapoint is that I just opened my latest BiaB creation, Reggae Rendezvous, in BiaB and the audio there plays perfect . . . whew again !

I've never plugged headphones into the 208i, I think for that to work I need to be recording something live. And in real-time I could listen to my recording thru the phones. I don't need that capability because when I record(in Audacity and hopefully soon in RB) I hear my playing thru my bass amp, I hope this makes sense to you. Clearly I am now far away from being able to record anything in RB. Step one now is to get my audio in RB back working.

I'm thinking the output driver in RB is, in fact, the culprit.

When I click on "Drivers" notice the "GetChannels Failed" error message I now get.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
