To my understanding, guys, everything is at 44.1 - I never have used anything else. I ran the "Return to Factory Settings", with no significant change (= "none that I'm aware of / still no joy".)

It's a "brand new" (to me) song; no other files on the system with the same name. I experimented with several other (previously successfully-recorded) tunes... with the same result: for example - I tell BB to play a D, it plays a C at about 87 cents flat. I don't use MIDI at this stage of song construction, but just to be safe, I told BB to use my MOTO 828 mk3 driver.

I suspect I'd need the ASAIO driver for audio output, routed to the MOTU analog outputs 7 & 8, but I can't tell where in BB to verify that. I've been running BB on this system since 2014, with never any issues. Simple "song construction" use, and then I port any tracks into the DAW for the "serious work".

Matt, I'm starting to suspect a "Windows update issue", as you mentioned. But "Dammit, Jim Kirk, I'm a doctor, not a software engineer!!" How could I determine this?

I appreciate the help so far, gentlemen... and I'm still stumped! laugh
