I'm tired of this message constantly popping up. Tried WAS, MME and ASIO. Something is preventing me from auditioning demos and this is the problem. This player is ancient. Is there a workaround at all or maybe someone has a way to solve having to load a song instead of just auditioning the demo.
Really, really frustrating.
Got on to support but little help available.

Which of the 3 audio drivers do you normally use?
Please check if you have any Windows updates available for your computer. You could also try re-installing Windows Media Player and see if that helps.
Best, Chantelle

Prefer Asio for obvious reasons but none of them work at the moment. I'm using an Audient ID22. Works brilliantly on all DAW's but BB doesn't seem to like it. Was talking to support about demo tracks not playing. Seems to be a real media player problem.

Mal. Its very difficult for anyone to help you // guesswork unless you give details about your set up. Fyi my audient evo has worked from day 1 nary a prob... ..includeing media player. The id range has a v good rep also. The following would help people help you mate. 1..What version of win you running ? 10 ? 8 ? earlier…? Please post a pic of your daw asio settings whereby the id works well. What daw ? 2..I assume akin to my audient you have a desktop audient app for id buffers//settings etc. ..post a pic of the settings. 3..Please post pics of your windows recording and playback settings.Including advanced settings. 4. post a pic of bb settings also ie..drivers etc . if biab is closed and your playing a wav or mp3 outside of bb, and useing mp media player is all ok..? ie bb not activated. Fyi the audient site has a good article on optimising a pc for audio work. I suspect its either a setting in win or biab. Try this…in audient control app, and in biab, and in win audio set all to 44.1k 16 bit and see if works…if not post the above info in points 1 thru 4. Fyi media player win works perfect here as does biab and reaper. Every day i use mp not only for auditioning in biab but also me rocking out to hard rock oldies and playing along with my guitar. ..lol. Best/rock on mate. om ps have you perused the various bb tutorials//vids ? eg..simons nice bb vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhDtJ-9KsS8

In the Biab driver settings there is ASIO "Always On" this will still be using the driver when Biab is stopped if it is checked. I sent PG a Delphi wma player code so they could have an internal player to play all the wma Style and RT/RD etc.. demos without using Window Media Player. This same issue pops up so regularly.

The only thing now is BB won't allow Audient in Asio mode. I t crashes the program.
Only option is MME with ID22. That's a real bummer because I prefer Asio always.

Yes I can use BB but only with MME and my Audient. I want to use Asio. When I try running Asio BB crashes.
