To successfully switch from ASIO driver choice to MME in BiaB, one must first shut down any other sound programs that may be calling the soundcard at the same time. That's not the same as minimizing those programs to the taskbar.

Here's what I would do:

1) Shut down all programs.

2) Start up only BiaB.

3) Go to Options - Audio/MIDI.. and change from ASIO sound drivers to MME inside BiaB.

4) Then I'd Play any BB songfile, just a few bars and hit Stop.

5) Shut down BB.

6) Now reopen BB and then open any other sound program which you intend to use with the Drag and Drop feature.

If you leave BB using the MME drivers, you won't have to go through all that every time. The only thing you may need ASIO drivers for in BB is if you are attempting to play a software synthesizer in realtime using a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI instrument. Otherwise, no harm nor foul running MME, which is actually going to call the Windows WDM sound driver in any of today's operating systems.
