I don't understand why the audio settings that work in BnB don't in RB. I understand a USB device is best but still would like to PLAY the song through another external device, like my PA, so I can hear as it would be played to an audience. Thanks for all your guidance on this, glad to be back working on my music.

I have about 1TB of disk space
Just out of curiosity, what sound device are you using to play through the PA? IIRC you're using a laptop, so are you wanting to play through the headphone output of the laptop? If not, how are you planning to get the sound out to the PA?

Also, if you go to the "device manager" in the Windows settings (right click the Window and choose Device Manager) under the "sound devices" do you see an item that says "Realtek"? And do you have any other sound input / output devices listed there?

In the past I was trying to come up with a solution where I could record and play back on my USB interface in RB and then play back using an internal soundcard in my computer all through my monitor speakers and I ran into similar problems such as you are experiencing. I ended up putting an AB switch in which did solve some of the problem but opened up PIA stuff in other areas IIRC. So in the end I just took the easy route and record on one computer and use another for playing through the internal sound card if I need to..

I also wonder if a Windows update had occurred during the time between when your system "worked" and when it didn't. That sometimes has the potential to mess things up.

Just curios. Thx
