It looks like you got the issue resolved.
That's good news.
Should it return at some future point, I would recommend switching to an external 3rd party USB connected musical interface which runs native (real) ASIO drivers.
On my Dell laptop, I was not ever able to get my DAW software to work properly. BB & RB worked fine on the MME drivers as long as I worked with audio but add a synth and latency was out the window.
I bought a Focusrite Saffire interface with audio preamps built in, running native ASIO and after setting it up in it's control panel, my synth latency is for all practical purposes, non-existent.
I run my DAW on the interface with the ASIO drivers, AND, at the same time, I can run BOTH Band in a Box AND Real Band using the MME drivers and hear ALL of it through the Saffire interface with my Mackie studio monitors.
In the (custom built) DAW I now use, there are no factory sound card chips/boards. I built it that way by design. But in my DELL lappy, I needed the Saffire to get latency free music.
Since you got the issue resolved, no need to run out and buy some new gear just to buy something. But keep this in mind. Perhaps not in this forum site, but in some other music forum sites I am active in, I would venture to guess that 95% or more are using the third party external (and some internal PCI card) sound card interface solution because it works, because it is convenient, and because the inputs and outputs available are easier to access, and it gives us a seamless recording experience.
BTW: if the interface has audio preamps, there is often no need to use a mixer in the audio chain unless you really need more inputs than the interface can handle. I plug mics and guitars straight in to the interface. (guitar= POD 2 guitar amp sim/processor) There is no mixing board in my studio.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

BOLD: that would be my recommendation to eventually invest in. Although I've mixed in the box for years I still have a mixer (3 year Behringer Xenyx 1622FX) which is actually just a glorified patch bay. OP...glad you got things figured with your on-board sound choice. Carry on....

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
