I'd created a short selection of music tracks for a publicity video, then left things for a couple of weeks whilst the people organising the video & voicovers did their part and decided which music seemed the most appropriate.

Yesterday I came back to the music ready to adjust duration, highlights and so on.

I started BiaB ... no sound. I tried all the various BiaB sound types (WAS, ASIO, MME), still no sound. I tried repowering the sound card, still no sound, I went through the types again, still no sound, I did an RTFS most and repeated, still no sound. I rebooted Windows, still no sound. Somewhere during this I started to get assorted pops, buzzes and crackles. on the sound module, but still no real sound. And then, shortly after yet another "play", the sound faded in and has been fine since. I've had this before and couldn't then work out why either.

Oddities continue, though ... one of my tracks (track 5) is playing, but says the RT is N/A.
OK, let's do a rebuild, even though I think nothing has changed, and do Cancel after it. I do a slow rebuild as I have a number of Norton Music styles.
My "N/A" guitar now is no longer N/A, but anotjher track that was an RT has now turned yellow. When I regenerate and play, the song sounds quite different. I then notice that the style has changed ... perhaps that's why that RT track changed to yellow.

This has more than slightly messed with the song, so I'm about to try to get an untouched copy and try again, but at present I'd distinctly confused by what's been going on here.
