I am sure no one here would disagree with the fact that you need an ASIO driver when you are recording. Absolutely. But, when you are not recording you will find MME more flexable and compatible with all other music making applications assoicated with BIAB.

Regarding the problem you stated above, I don't really understand your exact workflow

"...When I open BIAB, everything works well. If I am working on a song and want to sample another style, when I go back to the song there is no sound output. I will sometimes get an error 117".

Do you have two open applications of BIAB? How do you "sample another style" and then "go back to the song"? Nevertheless, ASIO will only permit one open application at a time.

Bottom line, the problem is drivers and the configuration of those drivers is related to how your keyboard is connected to your PC. As mentioned in all responses, best bet is to get a good interface which comes with good drivers. Then if you still have an issue, show us your configurations.

Here is my driver configurations in BIAB. I use MME (WAS was a bust for me) for all playback. Then I use my motu ASIO for recording my keyboard.
