Most likely due to an upgrade of windows, band-in-a-box, audio driver or audio plugin.
Double weird that you can fix it only if you view the log file, which just launches notepad with the text file name. to confirm, if you just dismiss that dialog without displaying the log file the problem is not fixed?

Also, did you update biab at the time the problem appeared?

Hi Peter, thank you for your interest in my problem.

Yes, I confirm that if I dismiss the dialog and thus don't open the log file, Bb can only generate audio in MME mode. This is not random behavior, but reproducible every time. Switching to ASIO or WAS is possible and generates no errors, but no audio is produced.

My audio drivers have not been received updates from the manufacturer recently (RME Fireface 800 which is multi-client and Steinberg UR12).

I've also tried to isolate the problem by renaming the directories containing the plugins to prevent them from being loaded.

I've tried downgrading to version 1109, but the same problem occurs. And my workaround does also the 'trick' then.

Best regards
