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 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

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
