Hi, I just starting to see this behavior when playing back a song in BIB. It stops all of the sudden past half way of the first chorus. Close it and then open it again then the cursor rushes back to that spot. No matter if it is a new file or an older one.
Any ideas?
Windows 10, latest version of BIB
Thanks for the help
Mike B.

Definitely try Options > Return to Factory Settings > Most, then restart BIAB.

That should do it, but if it does not, please give us more detail. Does it do this with all songs?

Hello there, I did a factory reset and no joy, and yes it seems to be doing it with all songs even with pre made styles ones, not always at the same spot though. Weird.
Thanks for any other suggestion.
Mike B.

Hmm.
When “the cursor rushes back to that spot”, do you hear music all in a rush? I remember that from many years ago but no longer remember what fixed it.
Regardless, I’m curious what other programs could be running in the background. We can tell you how to check that if you need advice.

Does this erratic behaivor happen only with BiaB or also with other programs on your machine?
Have you run a virus scan lately?
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2026 Windows 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.

No, when the "rushing" happens there's no sound, and no, it only happens on BIB. Nothing else is running in the background that I'm aware of.
I think I'm going to reinstall the whole thing again.
I'll keep you all posted
Thanks

Ok, after hours of re-installing BIB, I upgraded to the latest version and now I get an error message about "autohost.exe" not running with administration privileges, jbridge might not been working properly. The jbridge I have installed is from 2014, when i try to run it the latest compatibility it shows is of Windows 8. Is that correct?
Not sure this might be the source of the problem but it still does it specially when RT's are present. Help!!
Thanks

Try right-clicking BiaB and selecting 'Run As Administrator' to launch it.
Does that make any difference?
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!

1: Presumably you are running Version 2024 Build 1111. Help > About Band-in-a-Box. Can you confirm?
2: I don't believe that autohost.exe is part of the BIAB package at all.
3: If you upgraded to the latest version, did you log on to your account at PG Music and use the BIAB Install Manager to perform the installation?
4: I don't think that jbridge is now used, so I'm not sure why it is looking for it.
5: Are you running the 64 bit version of BIAB?

The Install Manager I am referring to looks like this (when you select Help > About): ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=28088&filename=2024-06-10_7-29-08.jpg)

Ok, disregard the speed thing, seem to ply normal now, however the sudden stop at random spots still happens, then when that happens I have to go out and start again, won't otherwise let me do anything.
Thank you all for the help, sorry to be a pain, and yes, I did opened it as an administrator and still do it.
Cheers

With the 64-bit BIAB, I thought you didn’t need JBridge at all.
The ‘speed thing’ sounds like you have set a 48K sample rate; BIAB needs 44.1.

Mike,
Have you tried the 'ultimate' factory reset?
This is to stop BIAB from seeing the following two setup files. To do this, exit BIAB and rename the two files as I have below. You'll find the files in \bb\preferences
MySetup.DK to Mysetup.DK.old
intrface.bbw to intrface.bbw.old
Once you have renamed them, restart BIAB. This forces BIAB to make new versions of the files without any 'hints' from previous versions. You will need to got into your MIDI and Audio set-up and put those drivers back in place.
Prior to doing the above, under "Options" save your present set-up and then if you need to, you can reload your old settings.
Regards,
--Noel

Also... regarding the "twice as fast", have a look and see that the percentage variation for tempo is set to 100%. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=28103&filename=tempo percentage of speed.jpg)
